I'm just establishing my first aquarium (36 gallon) and I'm considering getting Buenos Aries tetras. Are they a good starter fish? How many should I get for that volume?
Thank you!
They grow pretty large for a tetra and are extremely active swimmers. They are known to be quite nippy toward one another and toward tank mates. A 36 gallon is essentially a taller 29 gallon... I don't think I would recommend this species for a 30" tank.
OK. What other fish should I consider? I was leaning towards White Cloud Mountain Minnows, but they're not really large or colorful enough for my wife.
