Just bought 2 today for a new 5 gal tank. This is good info for me, I haven't had fish in a while.

@Teddzworth

Personal experience: Got six for a 55 before i knew they were plant eaters.. they chew on my amazon swords a bit. Which at first was a little heartbreaking. But their activity is absolutely incredible and outweighs the plant nibbles.. 6 buenos aires, 4 skirt tetras (would be more however i had to remove a few of the longfin variety) and an EBA. . They keep the skirts moving and sometimes the skirts will "school" with them when they swim in a group,

I love my Buenos Aries tetras

@Brantov

Hello my friend Jason. This tetra Hemigrammus caudovittatus from La-Plata river. Very beautiful fish. I had this fish in an aquarium in 1966, last century. Nice your video. Like. I wish you happy weekend.

Jason,

@kurtbrutting5118

Awesome content, keep up the great work! I love these fish, I had them breeding in my Clown Loach aquarium at 84 degrees. More the merrier and a big big tank is a must!

@deadpoet415

Those are some impressive fake plants. Beautiful, really. If you have more information on where you got those or a link, that would be useful to me. Otherwise, great info! I was considering these fish to add but they would've destroyed my planted tank. Excellent experience and info, as usual. Thanks again!

@shardaiportee6416

Thanks for keeping it real about these fish they’re so cool but I’m so glad I waited! I’d rather have a happy plentiful in a 55g than a crammed few in a 29g.

These fish are tough. I have driftwood I collected from the Sierra Nevada mountains, and one had a little piece sticking out maybe the diameter of 2-3 toothpicks. They spawn a few times a week in the morning and one was punctured through the belly by the piece of wood. Looked a little rough for a few days, and then bounced back like it never happened. They're also a pain during feedings, as they will outcompete most tank mates for food. Like little piranhas. I have mine in with Serpae tetras, Geophagus pyrocephalus, and a festivum.

@juliaheinritz3264

As always, thank you for the accurate, truthful information. Nice job!

@daveylarson2060

Great info, thanks Jason!

@johncameron4194

Thank you. I just saw them in the store and was impressed

@carterdavis5176

I agree with keeping them in larger groups, I have a small school of 6 and they're slowly dying off because they pick on each other and once theres just one left itll probably resort to picking on my angels

@jamespepe3847

Great looking tank!

@prasiet1

I have 5 of these in a tank with Cribs, penguin tetras, a flying fox and guppies. No aggression at all. They are a fun fish and are getting chunky.

@nathanhoveyaquatics

When I was getting in to the "community" fish I went to a fish only shops and they said they were friendly so I got 10. So far so good and I do have them with other smaller Tetras. I do notice they do chase the other fish in the tank occasionally.

@littlemidwestrebornsdolls

Great information, Jason. I truly enjoy learning about different fish species. Gina

I added 3 of these guys to my tank with 12 Serpae tetras and a few roseline sharks. The Buenos Aires harassed everyone else nonstop for days before finally chilling out. Everyone in the tank gets along now that the pecking order has been established, but the Buenos Aires are the only ones allowed to swim to the top at feeding time.. everyone else has to let the food drop. Interesting to watch.
