ok i have a 29 gallon tank:

3x Platies
3x flame tetras (imm gonna put 4 more in)
4x Peppered corys
1x red tailed shark

And i want another school of tetras in my tank, im looking for lively yet colorful, and are pretty hardy at the same time.

try lemons

Lemons will make a nice contrast with the Flame Tetras. And they're hardy, and easy to breed.

By the way, it won't be too long before you're looking at another home for that Red Tailed Black Shark. They reach 7 inches in length and become feisty when adult. They're usually considered more suitable for a 75 gallon than a 29!

If you rehouse the Red Tailed Black Shark, then this will give you more room for Tetras. You'll be able to have 8 each of Flame and Lemon Tetras no trouble, and still have space for a nice group of 8 Corydoras habrosus catfishes as substrate level feeders (I suggested these because they stay small!). Either that, or bring your Peppered Cory group up to 6.

Remove the Shark & add some Lemon Tetra's & 2 more Peppered Corydoras.
