I saw these tetra in PetSmart and was wondering about them. They are small and orange and yellow. I can't remember the name. "Rio" was in it though. I'm looking for a good schooling tetra for my 90 gallon. Could ya help me out?

Are you referring to the Von Rio tetra? If so, here is a site with information about them: [link=http://www.giveusahome.co.uk/allpets/fish/vonriotetra.htm]http://www.giveusahome.co.uk/allpets/fish/vonriotetra.htm" style="COLOR: #808080[/link]



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Von Rio tetras are also often called "Flame Tetras". I've never kept them, but by all accounts they're among the easier tetras to keep (and to breed). Some in the stores are a lot more colorful than others.
