Neon Tetras - Where to get?

[Jackpot]

That's right especially if you have 100x jumbo size Cardinal tetras swimming in your tank...

bro, u mean the full blooded red is the cardinal?coz i always see the 1/2 red ones as neon tetras..

 

 

Yes, the full blooded red is the cardinal. It costs more but colur wise more nicer than neon, think you wont regret getting them.

Dont get neon tetras, get cardinal tetras instead.

 

Go to Sea View Aquarium, 2 seletar West Farmway 2, their Cardinal Tetras(L) is selling 100 pcs for $45. Pay them a visit, they are selling many other kind of tetras.

 

Rgards.

 

I got my 100 pc of neon tetra there for $10

I kill all my 1st batch of tetras, so dare not get cardinal. In the end I bought neon tetras, they are growing now

Where can I buy 100 pc of neon tetra for $10? You not talking about baby treta?

[Ahyoo2002]

The one i got is not very big, but I found them adjusting better as compare to the bigger tetra that I got. Now they used to the environment and not as shy as before.

 

So whenever I go over, they thought food coming and start swimming/gather in front of me, nice

Actually Cardinals are more hardy (to different water condition) than Neon Tetras but live span is the opposite. As long as the condition & climate of water is conducive to the Tetras, baby (cardinal & neon) tetras can live around for 2~4yrs. Some claimed 5yrs, but I'm not sure of that.

 

Before you buy or mix any fishes, do read up. Below are some of the URL that are useful.

Actually I think any fish can also be hardy. Depend on you. Lasy person like me could keep my fish in the tank until like cannot see them anymore because full of algae, sxxt etc. and even smell. Still my guppies, my oscar and even my koi in plastic large container can survive. Cruelty huh? I have stopped keeping them.

[Apollo]

too many algae becos of too much lighting or too much nutrient or both.

 

reduce lighting to under 6 hours if u hv outdoor light coming in. add anti algae and do water change to reduce nutrient.

 

but control water change as too much water change the fishes cannot tahan also. tap water slightly high on the PH so best to try reduce it with PHminus.

 

smell? rotting plants?
