The Black Skirt Tetra will make an awesome schooling fish. Their unique color pattern is bound to impress. This little guy will thrive in aquariums with plants and drift wood, which will help stimulate their natural habitat. They prefer very clean water and neutral pH to thrive. This Tetra will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium.The Black Skirt has smaller mouths and will need pellet and flake foods small enough. They are a smaller, non-boisterous fish, so they should be paired with other peaceful fish that make them feel safe and do not compete for food. Consider a group of seven of these fish to be an absolute minimum as far as stocking goes.

Can platties, Black mollies, pleco, and neon tetra all be kept together in a 20 gallon tank?
How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
Black molly with a white spot near the anal fin. Is she pregnant
I recently got a tropical fish tank off of craigslist. There's two black skirt tetras, one white tetra (might also be a skirt), and one guppy. All 4 recently had ick. The three tetra get along well but the guppy is making me worried. He was at the bottom of the tank when we got him but he still swims around to eat. Is there anything I can do to make sure he gets better? P.s. We are doing a 30% water change after I get a response. I also have money set aside to buy him a school. Thank you!
I am planning to put either tetras or danios in a 10 gallon. How can I tell if their female or male? Im not wanting to breed them so what do I do of they lay eggs? Am I suppose to move the eggs to a different aquarium and if I do will they still hatch?
what kind of fish are these? and would they be good with a male betta

My Tetra fishes are constantly dying even after proper care. I am also making sure that they are fed at the right time Lastweek I had one pair of glowlite tetras one black neon Tetra and 3 rosy but now I am left with only 2 rosy rest all have died . Please help !!!!
I got some new fish yesterday but I am not sure what type they are as they were s gift. They are black and a bit small. I want to know what type of fish they are and what they would need. Can you please help me with what type pf fish they are and what I should buy for their tank to keep them happy?
Last Monday, I got 3 bleeding heart tetras. All seemed well. When I checked on the fish last evening, I noticed 1 of the bleeding heart tetras was missing her tail. I know she does not have fin rot, as her other fins look healthy. It didn't look infected, so I decided to let it heal on its own. When I woke up, she was floating on her back, I flipped her around and she was fine. Now the other 2 are fin nipping her and ganging up on her. I moved her to a small glass bowl, what now?
I noticed 2-3 of my neon tetras have very few tiny spots on the top of their body and or tail, that are a white color. I noticed it tonight and wanted to know if anything is wrong with them. Their behavior hasn’t changed at all from how they act since I’ve gotten them a week or two ago. Should I be worried?
Can rainbow sharks , guppies, and neon tetras stay together?
