I knew it would be easy for someone :) I just put about 15 in my 110G. These things are vicious little suckers! No other fish is safe.

Here's a short writeup on them, with picture.

It's an interesting fish, being the only tetra native to the US. Big ones are vicious (looking), too. They'll pick you free of any dead skin you might be burdened with if you sit still long enough.

Where'd you catch those?

Tetras are finally getting their revenge. In the tropical tank I had as a kid the neon tetras had a habit of vanishing as everyone made them their meal, now their is a tetra who can make a meal of everyone else. :)

Yeah that's what I was gonna say piranhas have been getting tetras revenge as well have the exodons. Tetras are no pansys

As per your request. This is one that used to be in my aquarium that I picked up from the Nueces River.
