WTB Central American Tetras

[Adawson88]

I'm trying to find either some cardinals or neons. Or anyone know a good CA schooling fish to go with my Honduran Red Points?

I just purchased four (large) buenos aires tetras for $4 from pet smart, was looking for something larger than rummynose tetras (which were being eaten) by the Nicaraguense I was housing them with. Don't believe these tetras will have any problem with the "Nics"

The old school black tetra is Central American and tolerates cooler water. They might be too big to eat, but not be fast enough to get out of the way.

Astyanax mexicanus, the Mexican tetra,
which can be found as far north as Texas, is an option. These are the non-blind version of the blind cave fish. Look a lot like the Buenos Aires tetra.

Black tetras are from South America...

Well the thing is I don't want my schooling fish to scare the cichlids which are small juveniles... I guess I need to do a little research on their growth rate first.

Not to worry

It's fast. And these are tough little dudes...

Buenos AiresTetras like to eat plants like hair grass, dwarf sags, and crypts.

Glad I only have drift wood and rocks in with them and the Nics
