You really should aim to have an acid tank if you are going to keep Tetras.

Like a Blackwater tank?
That's what I'm planning to do

 

[Naughts]

I wouldn't risk honey gourami (slow, long fins) with bloodfin tetra (can nip).

Okie, so...
I think I am going to be down-grading my tank to a 29 gallon tank.
My mental health is trash leading me to not want to do water-changes, ect., and I think if I had a smaller tank I'd have more encoragment.
tbh i think it'd be better for the fish and less stressful for me.
My mom said we should move them to a smaller tank if we have such a little amount of fish (I will still be getting more).
I'll still have to talk her into buying a new tank, but I think she'd be pretty ok with it

False, I have tetras in 4 tanks with a ph of 7, they live long and prosper

pH7 is neutral which is different from pH 7.5 or even 8 which is what some people are doing.

pH7 is neutral which is different from pH 7.5 or even 8 which is what some people are doing.

So, acidic tanks are not needed for keeping tetras.

I saw your other thread. I wouldn’t try to put all that in a 29 gallon tank. What fish do you already have?

I personally would only ever keep tetras in acidic tanks. More than that I run all my tanks on the acidic side. It helps with plant growth; it takes away the chance of ammonia spikes and besides a few species of freshwater fish all the fish we keep prefer acidic soft water.

That was my original stalking plan for my 47 gallon.
Now I plan for 10 bloodfins and 10 Silvertips (tetras)
I have 3 bloodfins and 4 silvertips

Ohhhhh ok. Are you able to take the bloodfin sand silver tips back to your LFS? I am just thinking you could look into other stocking. You seem very drawn to a peaceful community, and as far as I know these are somewhat large tetras who can be nippy and stressful to some other fish?

I've already had them for ~10 months, and the pet store is 2-3 hours away from my house /:
Bloodfins/Silvertips, IMO, are pretty small, about 1/2 inches bigger than neons.
They are very nippy, which is really annoying, but I've heard they do better/are less nippy in larger groups.
I'm trying my hardest to stay away from fish they haven't done well with in the past, but it's the fish I want the most.
So I might just get more Bloodfins and Silvertips (what I need not want) for now and see what happens.
If they still harass/kill each other in a group of 10 each, I might rehome them to someone that knows more about them.

Hm. Honestly, I would keep the fish that you want to keep. You have a big, beautiful tank. Stock it with fish that bring you joy
