someone got tired of looking at the 50 gallon empty tank while i tried to find my female johanni's. he brought home a bag with 2 each serape's, head and tail lights, harlequin, and glow light's. i had not researched them so i don't know much about them. i am going to move them to the 20 gallon when i find the girls. i like the serape's the best. i am not much of a tiny fish person and the others are really tiny.
surprise you have tetras!

They will likely be fine as they are as long as your tank is completely cycled. They are all schooling fish and like to be in groups of 5+, so having only 2 of each kind of defeats the point. I would suggest selecting one group of tetras that you like the most and returning the other ones to exchange for that type. Tetra schools are very attractive with all one type, with only 2 of each it will look kind of hodge podge.
See if you can trade the other's for serapes, since you like those best. Schooling fish need to be in a group because that's how they stay safe in the wild. They also like to socialize with others of their kind. They stress when kept in small groups or singly. Tell that "someone" not to mess with your tanks unless they want to do the reasearch first!
