Sally Lyman –
I added a group of 8 Rummy Nose Tetras to my 50-liter tank. They swim together beautifully and add vibrant color to the water. The fish are active and calm, and I didn’t notice any fin-nipping. Only keep them with peaceful species.
David Slater –
The tetras are lively and colorful. I kept them in a group of 6 with other small community fish. They adapted well to the tank after a week. Water parameters stayed stable, and they seem happy.
