small tetra.

[lynseycass]

I'm just beginning to stock my 10g now that it's established. I would really love some help and or ideas on some small tetra to add. I really don't like the idea of "glow fish" or dyed fish, I enjoy the natural beauty of neon tetra and fish like dianos. As far as the tank's vegetation goes there are three thriving, swords, a larger scale piece of driftwood and a moss ball and all natural rock substr
ate. The temp now is 78F.

I'm definitely not new to having fish and it is a very successful hobby of mine, just looking for some friendly suggestions on my new little project.

The thing with tetras is, they do best in larger schools, like more than 6 or so.

2-4 female bettas would be cool too IMO, or a male betta and 4-5 zebra danios.

4-5 sparkling gouramis would be great.

Welcome BTW! Glad to hear you established your tank ahead of time. You're truly one of us if you monitor water parameters with a decent liquid test kit and do weekly water changes... Kidding on the 'one of us' thing!

Boraras brigittae (often called Chili Rasbora) would be beautiful in that set-up.

That's her haha, And of course I do weekly water changes as well as daily level checks, I don't use test strips.I hate test strips. Since when do colors give exact measurements? lol seachem is one of my favorite lines of aquarium care products.
