Starting a new tank by myself, I've got questions.

pardon me, i thought cardinal tetra bigger in size compared to rummynose.

I had rummies in my 2 ft till an accident occured and all died. Anyways, rummies are will liked for their ability to school better, I found that putting them in a 2 ft cannot really appreciate schooling because after swimming from one end to the other, they have to make u turn, ie not enough space. But its ok to have them and my rummies grew from 2"+ to 3" and fat too.

Are the cardinals bigger? Any one has any experience? There are contradicting sizes in the books and websites. Kimleng, one of the reason i wanted them was due to their beautiful schooling ability. So they should be ok?

Hi vnod

I used to have a similar two foot tank with almost exactly the same number of fish. I think you should be fine but just make sure that you introduce your fauna in stages. With such a small tank, a sudden addition of bioload like your 6 tetras might create some hiccups in your nitrate cycle.

Thanks Adrian for the advice. I was planning to do that, and I'm glad to know that 6 tetras can be kept comfortably in a 2ft tank.
