Welcome to the board, for members to help you we will need to no size of tank in gallons or litres.

All livebearers would go well in this tank, and maybe a few corys? What size is your tank, and how much are you looking to spend?

sorry my tank is 56litres so not to big plus ild like to know wot theses fish look like as i have no idea with name hehe cheep hopefully lol

look at the fish index. Also look up common pleco because that's what I think you have. If so you have a problem on your hands.

oh umm wont they stop growing due to the size of the tank?? also i have a question the tetras seem to be not very active unitll i turn the light of or the air bubbles even more active when both waht could be the cause of this?? sorry bout all the questions!!

You will stunt it's growth and it will die an early age, they will be abit stressed with the move and new surroundings so i wouldn't worry that they only come active when the lights are off, they will settle in, good luck.
