Every single tetra was pristine and showed a sense of royalty. Thank you for this wonderful video

[mihirtawde]

This is the best Tetra types video you will ever get. I felt all the tetras are covered in this till date whatever I have seen ! Thanks !

[pelhamsaquatics]

I’m mostly cichlids livebearers and plecos, but I may just start some schooling tanks of tetras I quite like the serpae tetra . Fun fact in 47 yrs of fishkeeping it’s the only tetra species I’ve ever kept lol! Thank you for this presentation🙂👍🏻

[floadd]

It's as if at the time of creation, Almighty God said, "Watch this!" Thanks for this great video.

[Paul-lihq]

There is something for everyone within the Tetra group...
I had a shoal of Kitty Tetra in a well planted tank... beautifully coloured up once settled.
Lemon Tetra are subtle beauties: again, big shoal, in a large planted tank... quite impressive (and they're still cheap, compared to some of the newer, flashier fish - so a good sized group won't break the bank).
Embers and Reed Tetra are perfect for the smaller tank...
Mature Congos in a really big tank with the lighting tweaked to accent their colours (lighting too bright will wash out the colour a fair bit): probably as close to fishy perfection as you can get.

Im a big fan of the tetra species .Always loved diamonds, congos and bleeding hearts black phantoms, emperors etc.If you have a large group in a tank they can look stunning.Also they are mostly very cheap to buy peaceful and hardy and easy to care for.So many beauties to choose from.Hope your fish are ok now and the new rainbows are doing well.Best Wishes as always.👍👍❤❤

[kellysuzanne]

I have mostly all tetras in my tank . I have 23 lemon tetras 4 black skirt tetras 3 white skirt tetras 6 phantom Tetras and 2 neon tetras. The rest are guppies gourami's endlers and a Betta . The neon's die way to easy, I had 25 only two made it so I'm gonna be getting a couple of cardinal tetras to go with the neons so they aren't alone .

Just found you tonight, new subscriber, thanks for posting. I've kept freshwater tropicals for over 50 years. I've gone full circle, starting with tetras, barbs, live bearers, South/ Central American cichlids, Rift Lake Cichlids, now in retirement I'm down to one 260 litre tetra tank and loving it as much as ever.

[mraquaticnews]

The most stunning tetras I've seen yet and some that I've never seen. Cool content!!! Nice job Aquadiction!

[yeeyt]

Congrats on 700 subs! The channel's growing steadily, love it

[markkinnersley]

Brilliant stuff, some I've never seen before, my favourites are rummy nose, Colombian and cardinal

[apss]

Awesome video . I love the style. Although I'm not a big tetra fan ( except neons and silver dollars) I have to admit that these are some awesome species

[ExpertAquarist]

I selected 15 tetra's, those are something different from your above mentioned list in video. My favourit tetra species are easy to keeping and care. Thank for your valuable video. Best of luck. ♥️

[shawndoe]

Exceptional video in every way. Really enjoying this. Thank You: Shawn

[skdragon]

80-90% came form amazon, wonderful genus of fishes

[stubbsaquatics]

That video is great. I can see why it's doing so well as you have gone way above everyone else's tetra profiles... I am hoping to add some bloodfin or rummy nose this summer

[bpm]

You did a great job on that video. Well done!

[ihatenuggets]

Just had to get rid of the school of 8 dawn tetras I had. They were harassing my bamboo shrimp so much they stopped eating :/

[Blackpink_cam]

Is coffee bean tetra are rare😮 google says it is rare, expensive and hard to found but hopefully I bought it only for 0.30 dollars for one(25 rupees ) I think the shopkeeper doesn’t have much knowledge about it. I actually bought it because I saw it for the first time and it’s so cute ❤

[monkeytop]

I didn’t know that there was even that many tetras in the world
