I found the culprit killing my Tetras I believe

[@marksteele2008]

Glad you found the culprit and stopped the problem. A 40 gallon breeder is such a great tank with so many options. Depends what you love. Personally, right now I'd put a bunch of fork-tail rainbows (Pseudomugil furcatus), a school of rummynose tetras, at least a dozen Corydoras of 1 or 2 species, a pair of longfin, super red Bristlenose plecos and let it roll. Ask me in another month and I'd probably have a different combo!

Cherry barbs are great I have 7 in a planted 29 with some platties 1st time I have owned them in my 50 years keeping tropical fresh water fish Peaceful as can be with so much color they surprised me with how red they get I have 3 females and 4 males and, I highly recommend this beautiful fish

@@allauricia1985 yes Cherry Barbs are very nice. I used to have many.

[@thetuninator1885]

Columbian Tetras, Black Tetras and Tiger Barbs all come to mind. They are colorful, well behaved and very hardy - good luck!

[@razinfishes1918]

I agree you need a change, send me all the remaining neon tetras for my tank :D

I had SAEs in a few tanks, but ended up taking all 6 to the LFS. They became jerks as they got bigger. Blue Cochu Tetras are a pretty tetra that would school for you and stand out nicely.

[@FlowstateAquatics]

Maybe some kind of barb? Cherry, Rosy, or Odessa? The contrast would be cool, and to tell you the truth I'm mainly recommending them because I think they look awesome and I don't have a tank for them yet so I'm looking to live vicariously lol

@@razinfishes1918 Nice! I cant seem to get my tank to stay lower than 7.4. Since yours roughly 6.8 you could try Sundadanio axelrodi or Pseudomugil mellis. These are two I have always wanted to keep but my tap water PH prevents me from doing so.
