Diamon Tetra

[OrbWeaver]

I am trying to figure out what type of Tetra I would like to put in my tank and I found the Diamond Tetra in my book. Wow! Its a beauty! Went to look at it at the LFS and it is was even more beautiful in person. My question is this, if I would like to have some of the smaller tetra, like the neon, can I also have some of the larger ones like the Diamond and Lemon? Or would the larger tetra bully the smaller? I am also planning on having a couple guppies and maybe a 2 Mollies....

Thanx very much for your help.

55 gallon tank if the size of the tank makes any difference.

Have you seen a Congo Tetra? They look more impressive to me personally. Unfortunately I'm getting rid of mine because I only have one and they prefer to be in shoals, and I would prefer to use that space for other fish

I have had Congo tetras, diamond tetras and neon tetras together in the same 40-gallon aquarium. All are beautiful and in my experience, the larger tetras do not bully the smaller ones.

I second that, my Congo tetra has never been interested in attacking my shoal of Neons.
