    Ruby tetras are characins, not cyprinids. Scientific name is Axelrodia riesei.

    done.. and Anyway.. i used to keep some.. very very nice for the smaller thank i find.. but if you give them alot of foilage.. they tend to hide inside until its feeding time.. i feel they would be better fish if you have scapes that are more open..

    Actually, there might be a chance for your fries to survive if your foliage is really hugh... You seen before GreenChapter's main show tank? There is a breeding pair of A. eunotus (if I am not wrong), and mum and fries are all happily hiding away in the foilage...

    But then, i am talking about a 10ft tank lar...

    About 2cm or so. This is based on my own rubies that are still alive in my 3footer. They are quite small so to speak, but easy to keep.

    Tetras with shrimps are a big no-no. If the tetras are hungry, baby shrimps will become food for them.
