    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these. I have a 180L lying vacant at the moment and I am thinking about putting a shoal of these into it. Looks like they are very lively, easy to keep and interesting characters.

    Haven't kept them nor have I seen them in store before but I had only watched this video recently on them. Definitely a species only tank!

    Watched that video. Very interesting stuff. Will ask at my LFS about these and see if they can source them for me. Did you see his latest video? Terrible loss.

    Seen them tetras too and found them interesting but as said above they would need there own tank.

    I have a Tetra aquarium with Rummy Nose Tetras, Neon Tetras and Glow Light Tetras

    Im currently looking into getting Neon Green Rasbora for the tank but finding them hard to find

    They sound like psychos! I didn't realise some Tetras were so aggressive.

    My Tetra tank is supposed to be an oasis of peace to provide some respite from the mayhem of my Cichlid tank.

    Neither did I. I always thought that tetras were an easy going bunch.

    Wow crazy.

    Tetra's are eady going but watch what happens if one of their pals is feeling unwell.

    I keep Rummy Nose in my community aquarium. Absolutely love them.

    Where is this place? Looked on googlemaps but it's sending me down some local road off the N81. Is that right?

    They sound like something might work with my tetras. I'll pop by Seahorse tomorrow and check them out.
