One I would recommend is the Lemon Tetra. Passed by because they look bland as juveniles in bare dealer tanks. Take home a shoal of 8 or more, give them a *properly* furnished aquarium with decent plant and bogwood provision, then feed them colour enhancing food and live food. After 6 months, they'll become little bursts of sunshine in your aquarium. Small enough to live in a relatively compact aquarium, but big enough to live with the likes of Apistogrammas, they're pretty much bomb proof hardiness wise in my experience. Oh, and give them Java Moss, and they'll even spawn in your community tank, as mine did semi regularly over a 7 year period, and yes, they lasted 7 years.

The most bullet-proof tetra that I had is the serpae. I can also say the same thing about the black skirt. Their only main drawback for me is that they tend to get too big and aggressive for cherry shrimps. Another tetra that people may want to consider is the glowlight tetra, thanks to its nice pinkish neon line that runs along its body, which really looks cool when hit by light. Unfortunately, their hardiness is also comparable with the neons, so you might not be able to keep them for too long.

Thanks Jason, great breakdown. As much as I love rummy nose they just will not live long for me - ever! My wife wasn't thrilled with my black neons until I got them in the tank with good lighting. Their lateral lines really pop off under great lighting and they tend to stay mid to upper water so they are always hitting light. Mine think they belong with all my zebra danios hahaha. I've seen the cherry tetras once and they were fantastic except the cost! I went with the serpae tetra for their deep red and black. Now they have great white tips as well. Absolutely fantastic fish! Again, great rundown of my style fish. Have a 75 gallon but really only wanted smaller fish including most on your list. So much more enjoyment to my family over watching two Oscars haha.

I have some pristella tetras also and they look amazing in a community tank. I actually like them over the serpae tetra because they tend to be fine nippers the serpae are. Where pristella tetras have that beautiful yellow black and white. I also really love the Buenos Aires tetras they are a bigger tetra so need a bigger tank they tend to grow to about 4 inches or so. But the schooling behavior is so unique and they have lots of energy in a 55 gal I have a school of 6. With some black skirted tetras. It is going to be my angel tank hopefully.

I can't believe I'd never even heard of a Red Cherry Tetra before. What a beautiful fish! I have some Ember Tetras, and I agree, they're great. I love their small size, and they're pretty tough little fish. I even spotted a baby today, and the tank's only been set up for about a month and a half. They're in a heavily planted 10 gallon with a Betta and a few nerite snails. I'll be setting up a 20 gallon early next year, and Cardinals and Diamond Tetras are both on my short list for that, although the Diamonds would be pushing it, in terms of size, as I prefer tiny fish in larger numbers most of the time. I'd also like to try the Green Neons at some point. As pretty as they are, I'm over Neon Tetras, for the hardiness issues you mentioned. My housemate kind of has her heart set on them, I think, but there are too many other fish out there that are just as pretty and less prone to illness.

For years I would have said that my favorite would have also been the standard Neon Tetra. They were a staple of pretty much every community tank that we had growing up when I was a kid. My brother has a small school of them in his tank currently as well. But I think that is I were to pick today I'd go for the Ember or the Cardinal with the standard neon coming in 3rd place on my top 3.

Those red cherry tetras are just spectacular! I've tried neons (they all die) and black neons (they all die)... maybe it's my water or the fact I just don't pay attention to water parameters like i could? I've never had ick issues with them, tho. Whatever it is, I won't be getting any more tetras although I love those fish! But this video gave me a lot of great information and I will come back to it if I ever decide to try it all over again. Thank you for all the great content! I enjoy all of your videos very much.

I bought some Buenos Aires Tetras about 6 weeks ago. I hadn't seen them before. I love them. Beautiful red fins and a silvery blue sheen to the body. They get about 3" long and I have mine in a 55 gallon. They are a very active schooling fish and pay attention to you when you are near the tank. I think I paid $3.50 each. I also have ember tetras and neon tetres in the same aquarium and haven't had any agression problems.

I've always loved the Lemon Tetra. I love their color because it's unusual and different from other fish. One of my other favorites is the Serpae Tetra. I just love the combination of the red and black coloring. Both of these have been pretty hearty for me. I've had pretty good luck with them in my 55 gallon.

Candy Cane Tetras are my new favorites that I just learned about. Similar to Black phantoms in terms of shape and possibly size but just red and white instead. Really neat, one is what I'd call the "alpha" of the group with the more solid color of their taller and brighter dorsal signal fin and slightly bigger than the rest too. Had them for more than 6-7 months now and they're the pop of color I was looking for. No sickness here either. Rummy Nose and green neons have been my favorites for years too.

I'm going to stick with the live bearers and rasboras for now. Though I've had my cherry barbs for a year now and they've handled the hardness quite well.

I went to the LFS recently with the intention to get some Glowlight tetras. My 4 year old son, who was with me, was very insistent on getting Lemon tetras so we left with 8 of them. Pretty cool so far. Probably better when they color up. That said my favorite tetras are neons, glowlights and colombian tetras which aren't very common.

Lemon Tetras tend to look bland and insipid as juveniles in a bare dealer tank, which does NOT suit them at all. However, if you put your shoal of 8 into an aquarium with decent provision of live plants and bogwood decorations, and feed them decent quality food, they colour up beautifully as adults and become little bursts of sunshine in your aquarium. Mine were kept in a lavishly planted aquarium with Java Moss growing on the bogwood, a nice centrepiece Amazon Swordplant and a row of Vallisneria at the back. I fed them Tetra colour food and live Daphnia. They not only turned a truly brilliant shade of yellow as adults, with intensely black contrast fin markings, but lasted 7 years and spawned intermittently in the tank. They team up brilliantly on my experience, with Cardinal Tetras, a brace of Otocinclus algae eaters, and a big group of Corydoras panda catfish (which also spawned frequently in the same aquarium, which led to me calling the aquarium the Panda Fun Palace). If you want a really spectacular display, put together 20 Lemons, 20 Cardinals, 10 Otocinclus and 20 Panda Corys in a planted 55 gallon with ornate bogwood arches covered in Java Moss. Feed them all colour food and live daphnia, plus live bloodworms for the Corys, and you'll end up with a jewel of an aquarium in your living room. Furthermore, in a 55, there'll still be room for you to add some other fish to complement your tetra swarm. I'd run with a male/female pair of Apistogramma panduro if you can get them, or one of the other more peaceful Apistos in which you can tell male and female apart easily, or if you can find them, a pair of Laetacara curviceps (one of the few truly peaceful Cichlids you can buy). If you're not worried about mixing fish from different continents in your tank, something else that would go well would be that other criminally overlooked (and beautiful in breeding dress) Cichlid, Anomalochromis thomasi. This is about as close to a "pacifist" Cichlid as you can get, and because it lives in boggy conditions in West Africa, it likes the same sort of soft, slightly acid water as the tetras and catfish I've mentioned. With this Cichlid, it stays small enough for you to add 8 of them to the aforementioned 55 gallon setup, and develops lovely sapphire blue spangles against a magenta background when it's truly happy.

I got them from the same tank as the black neons, but 9/10 quickly died of cotton mouth (I think) while not a single black neon got sick. The diamonds have big personalities for tetras and are very active. My newer batch of diamonds is living it up with a couple danios. They often shoal together!

I have ember tetras and I love them. It started with a friend who had three fish that she was giving away. She told me they were "goldfish"... well, two were platys and one was a little ember tetra. I don't know how she wound up with just the one tetra, but he was a pale tan color and nearly clear when I got him. The fish were in an unheated aquarium with no real plants. In the UK during the winter, it's a bad idea to keep an unheated aquarium unless you have goldfish (my house would get to be 15C because it is so drafty). So I got them a large aquarium, real plants, a heater, and finally (after the tank was well-established) some more tank mates. So now he has a little school of buddies that he hangs out with. They get fed all kinds of things- brine shrimp, krill flakes, crushed up crisps, even daphnia. And my little buddy looks more orange by the day. :)

I have several penguin tetras that I love, the only unfortunate thing is that Petco stopped selling them so it’s a pain getting new ones if one dies

I have a bunch of Black Neons who are also with some Lemon Tetras and Candy Cane Tetras. All of them get long great and have no issues in my hard water. The Black Neons are the oldest fish in the tank and are pretty much bullet proof.

Black Neons are a solid choice. Confident: so it won't be hidden all the time. The colour is subtle... but still attractive, and a big shoal moving in unison in a well planted tank is amazing. Substrate colour choice needs some thought in order to work with the fish's colour. Reddish-brown works best for me. They get lost against a fully black background and totally washed out if the substrate is way too pale. Cheap as chips as well - so a big group isn't going to break the bank.

I have Redeye tetras in a large South American tank. They are a larger tetra and keep in a tight school. Having an upturned mouth means they really fill out the top of the tank.

I enjoyed a large shoal of pristella tetras for years in a 55g with several angelfish and bolivian rams. I liked them, but they were not the focus of the tank. Ended up falling in love. Very hardy, have nice if not bright coloration, school together well, etc. Highly recommended.

I've just got into blind cave tetra the past couple months, their behavior is very strange, once acclimated they actually have a sharp silver on their flanks that look great. They're also by far the easiest fish to net out of a tank as needed lol

I have black neons in a 12 gallon long I found on bulk reef supply (It fits on top of my rolltop desk). I have a female honey gourami in there and a few guppy fry. The honey gourami does really well with them, and she has a black breeding stripe that matches the black neons, so sometimes at first glance you can't tell she's a different fish. One weird thing I noticed about the black neons is they lose all their color and become translucent overnight. Also, I figured out the best time to catch them was right when the lights turn on in the morning. Love tetras! I want big tetra tank.

Cardinal Tetras are my dream tetra. Eventually I want to set up a South American community tank with Cardinal Tetras being the centerpiece. I'd love to include Black Neons, Purple Emperor Tetras, some Ginga or other smaller but brightly colored guppies, maybe a trio of Platies, Skunk Corydoras, I'm sure there's one or two other kinds I'm forgetting... That's my dream tank that I'll set up eventually when I'm able to.
