The trick to selling schooling fish "You're going to need at least 100 for a good school"

[FishBehindGlass]

These were the first tetras that I started my first tank for my daughter. Great fish, had them now about 4 and a half years now.

[muffemod]

"Unsung hero" couldn't have said it better. These are often overlooked because they're cheap. They're beautiful! I love them and while everyone is passing on them, I scoop them up on the cheap :)

[MrZanderSaid]

One of my favorite tetras! So easy to keep and gorgeous in a planted tank. They will also gang with other tetras ( I have one that thinks he is a cardinal tetra).

[wyzemann]

Yes...Thank You so much for spotlighting this awesome tetra. After 2yrs of struggling to keep cardinals alive and well, I switched over to these little gems and couldn't be happier. I originally put 20 in my 55, and they dazzle my housemates and guests; they are so interesting when they dart to the surface for flakes.

EXCELLENT AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY FISH!

Love the videos Corey! I've subscribed to the channel and watched a few of your fish room videos and love how much information you give! Thanks for helping my girlfriend and I get our tanks back on the right track. Everyone seems to be doing fine and my koi angel is growing a little bit each day! See ya soon!

[Sticky_Ricky]

I love these. Just put them in a planted 30 gallon with my Celestial Danios and they couldn't pair up better!

[mattcali]

Love your videos brother. I wanted to ask you if you could do a video about different ways of raising fry. Preferably an easier approach or way of keeping fry alive or at least giving the fry a better chance of survival in an adult aquarium. i.e. Raising fry within your community or species tank without having to remove them. Thanks

I have a 40 breeder. I already have 10 neons in there (its stocking is minimal right now). I want to add 10 rummy nose tetras and 10 black neon tetras, kind of have three different schooling actions going on. I think it'll look really cool. With German blue rams, cories, and a couple plecos.

[haklandfng]

I had 7...now I have one. Hardy my foot! I put them in with my duaghters Betta to add some activity...but they died off. I put the last one in with my female green sev and he is surprisingly doing well. I will buy 10 more and try again🤷🏾‍♂️. Good video. I love the background on that tank.👍🏾

[felipeperez]

I have 40 in my 25 tank
3 albino ( had 10 but they 7 died)
27 normal blue and red
And 10 black ones. And there doing amazing.

[olivedog]

I just got 4 of these fish that are in with my Betta. So far so good. They’re fast! And always hungry 😂 guess I need to get a few more...

[jameswalton]

I was watching your video&noticed it looked like you had African Debuawi catfish aka Eutropiellus Buffet;I've been trying to find these catfish with no luck for my 30 gallon long hillstream biotype Aquarium&was wondering how I could obtain a school of them for my Aquarium.

Congratulations on over 10000 subscribers.

[jenuinegirlonahealthjourne]

I think my female black neon tetra is killing all of her tank mates. Not sure what to do. Parameters are good. 5 gallon tank... Had 5 bnt... Now down to 2

[jordyp]

[jamie-oxsg]

i have had black neons and neons for a while in a small tank recantly introduced 6 black widows a small yoyo loach and am assassin snail had to because of the hitch hiking bladder snails on plants i placed in my tank and the yoyo and assassin snail lile hudini they dissapear for hours on end then bam they are in plain sight

[johnmartinez]

The fish are nice, but dang those racks are rad! Ever have any issues from omitting the crossbeams? Looks real clean the way they are set up now.

[bubskrz]

can you mix all different kinds of neon tetras all together? Like black neons, green, true neon, diamond head, albino, cardinal (red neon), gold and long fin neon tetras? say a school of 10 of each sub specie on a 110 gal pond or aquarium?

[threelazycaviesyt]

Hi. I was going to get 6 neon tetras and 2 Dwarf gourami. What food would you recommend for them and how much of it should I put in per day. Thanks
