Tetra curiosity!!

[Ed-Luvs-Meds]

I've stummbled upon tetraaas; yes, common I know, but I never really paid any mind to them soooo... Yeah. Anyhow!! Say I got me some Green neons and embers too, would they school together?? Breed? Maybe? The breeding part was just curiosity, hybrids are probably impossible. To bad, lol. But would they school together, because their all tetras? Because I don't have room for 6-7 of each type!

How many of each do you have? What tank are they in? According to your sig, you don't have any tanks up and running except a couple of 1g's.....??

I wouldnt put anything in a one gallon tank.

I haven't gotten the fish yet, and they'll be in the 10 gal... xD;;; -needs to update sig-

They won't school together that well, you'd end up with 2 different schools which looks kinda funny in a smaller tank.

I've had the same 6 neon tetras for about 2 years now and they've all but stopped schooling. I think after a while, tetras will stop schooling when they get used to their tank and dont feel the need for a school to protect themselves..

Tetras only school in a very large tank, lets say 50+ gallons, or when they're really scared. Otherwise, they're pretty much all over the place. I've got 7 gold tetras in my 30 gal and they don't even bother schooling during water changes when i have my hands in the tank.

And no, different species of tetras don't interbreed. Most don't really even breed within species in regular tank conditions.

If you want a schooling fish, go with danios.

The always hang out together cause no one else will accept them.
