Quick Answers

Are tetras good community fish?
Most tetras are peaceful schooling fish that work well in planted community aquariums. Choose tankmates with similar size, temperature, and temperament needs.
How many tetras should I keep together?
Tetras are schooling fish and usually do best in groups. Check each product page for species-specific group size and tank size recommendations.
Can tetras live with shrimp?
Some small peaceful tetras may coexist with adult shrimp in planted tanks, but shrimplets are at risk. Dense moss and plant cover help, but no fish should be considered completely shrimplet-safe.
Do tetras need plants?
Live plants help tetras feel secure and show natural color. They also provide cover, shaded areas, and a more stable environment.
Are tetras covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Yes. Photograph any loss in the original sealed bag on the day of delivery and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page. Approved claims are resolved according to the Live Arrival Guarantee policy.
