There is something for everyone within the Tetra group... I had a shoal of Kitty Tetra in a well planted tank... beautifully coloured up once settled. Lemon Tetra are subtle beauties: again, big shoal, in a large planted tank... quite impressive (and they're still cheap, compared to some of the newer, flashier fish - so a good sized group won't break the bank). Embers and Reed Tetra are perfect for the smaller tank... Mature Congos in a really big tank with the lighting tweaked to accent their colours (lighting too bright will wash out the colour a fair bit): probably as close to fishy perfection as you can get.

@Aquadiction Жыл бұрын

I bet the shoal of Kitty Tetras looked bloody awesome in a planted tank!!! Your right there is a Tetra for everyone, we are up to 100 listed species on our website, hoping to reach 130 by the end of this year and we will redo the vid once we get to that point :)! Tetras and barbs are such great fish!

Hi Kelly, yea not had much luck with neons over the years TBH, cardinals seem to be a more hardy choice and slightly more colourful in our opinion. A group of 23 lemon tetras sounds impressive, such a great fish and we bet put on an amazing display! We have personally not kept lemons but its100% on our to-do list!

You are very much super welcome to our channel and hope to hear a lot more from you on our videos as an experienced fish keeping we will find your input and thoughts super useful! Been keeping fish since I was 5 (if you can class your dad’s aquarium as your own lol) and 45 myself now! You just can’t leave this hobby and even if you do always end up back there sooner or later! Actually super stoked to have you onboard and hope to see more from you 🤗! We are only little but hoping to grow! I’m guessing your name is Dave??

@weebolddavy Жыл бұрын

@@Aquadiction Thank you both for your wonderful welcome. I am indeed Dave (Davy to my friends!) I can't pretend to be as deep into fish keeping as you obviously are. It's been a hobby which has always been there in the background to other hobbies which I competed in at the highest level nationally (in Scotland) and photography which turned into a business. Now with more time on my hands we tend to get away in our motorhome as often as the weather and money allows! In Scotland we had wonderful soft water, but now living in Mid-Wales the water is very hard and not to my liking, it don't even taste good!! The area I live is very rural so no such thing as a local fish shop, so keeping up with what's new isn't a regular thing, but a real treat when the opportunities arise. Your channel is a treat and the number of views this video has had is testament to how tetras are still as popular as ever. Don't be down-hearted by the number of views some of your videos have had as many are quite a niche/ specialist type of fish to keep. Keep up the good work and enjoy it, it's appreciated.👍👍

@bethanyluck5780 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry its not really related to the video, but I have a question about tetras. Can tetras mate with different types of tetras? I have two different kinds of tetras in my tank, and I'm not really sure of the genders of any of them, but I've noticed one of them is chasing a different type like they're trying to mate. Is it possible for that to happen?

@Aquadiction 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Bethany, to the best of my knowledge tetras can't cross breed with other species of tetra. I know a few Danios & Rasbora can cross breed but not tetras. They may appear to cross species spawn (we have a loach and Killifish that do this) but the eggs would be sterile. Hope that helps! Unless the tetras are a colour morph, example a regular neon tetra can cross with a Dimond or albino neon. Do you know which Tetras you have?
