Name Any Red Tetras That Can Go With A Betta?

[LucyB]

Just wondering, are there any red tetras/shoaling fish that can go in my community tank with a male betta? My tank lacks some red, and I really want a shoal of fish to go in there... I looked at red phantom tetras, but apparently they are terrible fin nippers? What about rosy barbs? any ideas much appreciated, thanks.

Just googled, very pretty fish and they won't nip any fins or anything?

In the right group size they won't, they are very pretty, passing fish, and are actually recommended Betta tankmates.

Some chilli rasboras would look very nice.

got it before me lol yh they are brill tankmates for bettas and i belive that cherry barbs are suitible too and btw the embers are an orangey red with a lighter belly i also agree with chilli rasoboras and another choice if you dont mind it a bit differnt is boras naevus which are a whiteish colour with red tiped fins and a yellow patch on the head but im not good a describing fish so google it. and one last thing they are a new import so might be hard to find.

you have written Boras naevus but the proper term is boraras naevus the reasing why the OP couldn't find pics is becuase you entered an incorrect scientific name
