    Hi,
    Thought I'll put this post here to get more answers....

    I have a 4ft planted tank with 14 cardinals. I just bought another 20 cardinals
    and 2 Congo Tetra yesterday.

    I know it's kinda late for this question, but will the Congo Tetra bite or eat my
    cardinals? They are about 7.0cm.

    I also read somewhere that I need to get a few more Congo for them to school? What will happen if I just continue to have just 2?

    Thanks.

    MS

    i had about 100 cardinals in my 4 ft tank with about 6 congos. What happened was the congos were kind of timid when first introduced to the tank. However, after getting used to the surroundings, they are very much lifely but will not bite the cardinals but will be very fast to take away the food you put into the tank.

    And yes.. aou will find that your cardinal will not school with the presence of congos.. they are must bigger of course.

    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    I just went back to the same shop at Pasir Ris Fish farm to get another 4 Congo. I now have total 6 Congo and 35 Cardinals in my 4ft tank.

    During the feeding, all the Cardinals were rushing for the food, but all the
    Congo were still very timid. I even saw the Cardinal biting one of the Congo's fin.

    Hope that everything will be peaceful in my tank.
