Hey there im planing on getting a school of Tetras.
How many per gallon?
I was thinking of getting about 5 to 10?
And put them into a 10 or 15 gallon?
Is this a good idea.

Any information on them would be great biggrin.gif

I have never heard of a black tetra. I have herd of black skirt, black neon, and black phamton tetra. For tetras you can just follow the one inch per gallon rule.

It depends on what size of tetra and how many you plan to get. Most tetras are 1-2 inches so getting a 10-15 gallon would be good.

Most tetras are schooling fish and like to live in schools of 6 or more.
