yes these are the ones! I am so used to calling them peppermint tetras as that was the name I bought them under! I had a couple of these guys for about 3.5 years back at home in my 40 gallon! Another reason why I was suprised and frustrated that my friend got these guys for my 5 gallon.

5 gallon tank. A hang on filter and yes driving back home.

my roommmate got me 3 peppermint serpae tetras for my fish tank (5 gallons) for my betta to have friends. I immediately panicked and ubered to the petstore to return them. THEN told me to venmo her the money she got for the fish. It confuses me how some people get fish for a gift 🙄

i was thinking that…i have fish tanks at home that arent currently in use. I could use some gravel and some live plants and make a temporary tank and do water changes frequently. or i have the option of draining all the water of my tank but keeping it moist for plants and saran wrapping the...

Here is a pic of my tank. Its a 5 gallon tank with all live plants and there is a heater and i also have a smart light plug to monitor lighting and an automatice feeder (i havent used it yet since i manually feed)
