Hello guys, first aquarium I have ever done. I cycled it for 16 weeks and used fish food to get it going, until 3ppm ammonia (dr tims) was fully gone in 24 hours. Tank size is 125l with six corys and five cardinal tetras. It was supposed to have been 6 tetras but one was already dead in the bag when I got them back home. I put all six corys (peppered) in at once last week and had no ammonia or nitrite spikes. So yesterday I thought I would get the tetras I planned on getting. I am thinking I need about eight of them or something now. Six is the minimum they say, but with six corys in there I'm thinking I need more of them to feel safe and not be so shy. The five I have seem pretty shy. They do seem to be sold a lot smaller than the cardinals I see most other places, so maybe that has something to do with it. These are just 2cm.
Tetras and corys seem to be fish that are in the same tanks a lot from what I've noticed. Hopefully someone can help me out before I buy more so I know how many more to buy.
Thanks
