[kribensis12]

Krib there not very hardy had no luck with them.


This site says 10 gallons I don't agree there quite big tetra's they need more room.
Not to be kept with aggressive fish as there shy.

Here's a pic of some of mine. I've had very good luck with them. I started out with 7 about 2 1/2 year ago and only lost one which somehow managed to get caught in the filter intake and was badly cut. Once settled in, they colour up very nicely. They are a fairly active tight schooling fish, a good community member that doesn't bother their tankmates. One of my favorite tetras!

I agree with Wilder, they should have at least a 2 ft tank (preferably more) as they are pretty active and need a bit more swimming space than a 10 gal would offer them.
