Tank Mate Compatibility:
Redeye tetras are very peaceful; they are best kept in schools of six or more and will claim the mid-portion of the aquarium. Although they are easygoing, they may occasionally nip at the fins of slow-moving, long-finned fish. Redeye tetras are very active in the middle section of the tank and may disturb less active top-dwelling fish. Of course, always avoid larger or more aggressive fish.
Here’s a list of some of the best tank mates for your Tetras:
-
Danios
-
Bristlenose Catfish
- Corydoras Catfish
- Rainbowfish
- Barbs
- Larger Rasboras
- Other Peaceful Tetras
