Do you have access to any? (Are they for sale in your LFS?) I have not been able to locate any.

P.S. Are you referring to the commonly available, blind, cave variety? Or the wild (eyed/pigmented) variety?

I'm referring the wild eyed variety. Yeah it get confused when it comes to the fish that share same name, yet they are completely different from each other. I do have blind cave tetras here.

Yes, they are very easy to keep. They're ravenous feeders that can be a little aggressive. They have a formidable set of teeth. They're all over the place in Central and South Texas.

Are their disposition similar to Buenos Aires Tetras? I was thinking about mixing the Mexican Tetras with their blind formed ones.
