Aquarium Buenos Aires Tetra fish tank mates. Their growth size also depends on what fish they should be kept with. The Buenos Aires tetra is on the larger side of tetras so that’s good. These aquarium fish can be kept with other mild mannered fish.
Additional Added Fish Talk:
Anyone else have snails (mine are nerite) that come out of the water and stay out? Mine attaches himself to the lid as far from the water as he can get and I have to replace him bc im afraid he’ll just crisp up and die.
Yes, and he always put himself back in the water when he needed to on his own, except for the one time he was found in the cat food bowl.
I've had nerite snails in all my tanks the 13 years I've kept fish and only recently has one decided he didn't want to stay in a tank. Any tank. He was a black racer nerite and he's been lost somewhere in this house for two weeks now. NONE of my other nerites do this.
Evacuated - 6 tanks - this is where most of my fish are. (The others that kept swimming away from me are still at the house as collateral damage). I did get my bettas who are the most important to me though. Tupperware with tin foil and holes in the top in a box. I pray we don’t have to live like this for long.
Oh wow. By the way, a 1 gallon water jug works wonders as a temporary tank. Uses way less foil & you can screw the lid (because I recommend getting the kind with a screw on lid as opposed to the snap on type) to make sure everything stays in the jug during transport, of course leaving several inches of air in it for the Bettas.
If you can get your self egg tumbler or a fry net and put a air stone over them you will be fine but they will die really soon if they don’t have Constant flow over them they. I’m pretty sure the male Pleco will take care of them as they hatch and grow but if you don’t want them just either sell them or give them to a LFS after they get to a certain age like two three months old.
For anyone wanting updates about my mystery tadpole “Pickle Rick” (yup )...
so I put him in my tropical 40g and he seems to be getting along with everything in there. Ate some bloodworms with the group last night. A lot of people said he is a Bullfrog tadpole so I have been trying to research how to care for those but looking for resources. They are not native to my area so I can’t release him in a pond or something. Considering setting him up his own tank and just keeping him by himself because I know as fully grown frogs they will eat fish. Not sure what my other options are. Open to ideas and any resources you guys care to share.
He will need a terrarium or something with enough water for swimming but land as well for hopping and drying and such. Also usually Temps should be closer to the 65 to 70 range. Maybe even cooler. I usually just set up a tank with no heater. But we never keep the frog because bull frogs get HUGE!
There was one sent at my LFS with some feeder goldfish. The worker told me she kept wondering why she was finding half eaten fish. When she finally found it she took it home.
