Have I made a big mistake?
In this video we take a trip to our local fish store (wet pets and friends, McMurray PA) and add the chosen Fish to our newly created 55 gallon South American nature style aquarium.
I decided to go with a somewhat risky fish for this aquarium. The Buenos Aires Tetra. These fish can sometimes nip on the fish of other fish and also nibble on aquarium plants so time will tell! I certainly hope these work out and picked out a school of 6 in order to disperse aggression and hopefully those "nippy" tendencies.
If you have any experience with Buenos Aires Tetra please let me know in the comments!

I've kept them with my Tapajos before without any issues. As you say Lewis they do get to a decent size for a Tetra and they are constantly on the move. Once they get settled in you'll find that they are very aggressive feeders, they are lightning fast. It's all looking good in the fish room, so envious. Look forward to the next one. Stay safe and take care mate.

I've had these tetras for years now. Currently they're in my 65 with a jack Dempsey, two acara and a Nicaraguan. They are super Hardy and will stay at the top of the tank. They can be a little nippy with one another but they can hold their own with the big boys. Awesome fish!

I got Diamond Tetras in my tank with a few Severums and a few Albino heckli and they are pretty hardy and have eventually began schooling together. I’ve heard the ones you got can get a lil on the bigger side and are quite nippy. Diamonds so far haven’t really been to nippy with either each other or the other fish. I got 10 👌🏼

Just added 9 to my 400 litre to go with my severums & blue acara 🐟 I also have a young Oscar in there ATM & he’s the only one showing any interest in them lol, il probably move him on if there’s any issues

Thought I had you talked into Blue tetras. Still you made a fine choice. They'll work out great in your biotope! Honestly most fin nippers get a bad rap. I've only had problems with tiger barbs.
