Then depending on if it's planted with live plants, how your maintence is, and what your nitrAtes are, you might consider it. ^_^ [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it [/font]

Tetras would probably be the best choice, as they are compatible with the other fish you have, and they produce little waste. Not only that, but tetras can be very nice-looking, depending on what type you get. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!

I already have bloodfins and black neons in another tank so I don't really want these to go in my new tank. Thanks!

I love their colors, and they seem to be very happy and agreeable fish. Glo-light tetras would be fine as well, though they don't look as cool. (To me, anyways) If you do decide on rummys, make sure that you take your time acclimating them. They can be somewhat delicate at first, and you don't want to stress them during their transfer to your tank. Otherwise, they are great tetras, and great community fish.

A school of 8 would do nicely in that tank. They are rather delicate fish with transfering from tank to tank, but i have found once they are in a stable environment they are as hardy as the next tetra. Brilliant fish, one of my favourite tetras. -- Gomer
