Black Skirt Tetra, Pack of 12
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Black Skirt Tetra will make an awesome schooling fish. Their unique color pattern is bound to impress. This little guy will thrive in aquariums with plants and drift wood, which will help stimulate their natural habitat. They prefer very clean water and neutral pH to thrive. This Tetra will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium.The Black Skirt has smaller mouths and will need pellet and flake foods small enough. They are a smaller, non-boisterous fish, so they should be paired with other peaceful fish that make them feel safe and do not compete for food. Consider a group of seven of these fish to be an absolute minimum as far as stocking goes.

How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
Black molly with a white spot near the anal fin. Is she pregnant
I recently got a tropical fish tank off of craigslist. There's two black skirt tetras, one white tetra (might also be a skirt), and one guppy. All 4 recently had ick. The three tetra get along well but the guppy is making me worried. He was at the bottom of the tank when we got him but he still swims around to eat. Is there anything I can do to make sure he gets better? P.s. We are doing a 30% water change after I get a response. I also have money set aside to buy him a school. Thank you!
30 gallon freshwater tank 6 peaceful community fish, planted tank. nitrite0, Ammonia0, nitrates low. ph 7. One molly died quick and sudden. another molly (bloated not pregnant) bottom of tank looked dying. put in salt. She improved. wite tube poop. still swimming bit crooked. one neon tetra swim bladder died. another tetra very bloated. parasites?
I am planning to put either tetras or danios in a 10 gallon. How can I tell if their female or male? Im not wanting to breed them so what do I do of they lay eggs? Am I suppose to move the eggs to a different aquarium and if I do will they still hatch?
Hi I recently got six fish and four of them are good but two of them which are the same type of fish haven't eaten anything ever since I got them I don't know if it's the food. And one seems lost and keeps bumping into the tank and they usually stay in one place and one of its eyes are turning black. They are the black ones in the photos. Thank you
I have a betta fish and I want to put him with neon tetra fish can he live with them and how do you know if he is a male or female. Do you want a picture to tell I will include some and will he be able to handle 10 gallon and will neon tetra also
My Neon Tetra is not eating and I am feeding it the right amount and the water is at the normal temperature for Neon Tetras also what should I do?
Best foods for 29gallon tank with 4Rosaline Sharks, 4Congo Tetras, 1large bushy nosed plecostamus. Vitamins?
My Tetra fishes are constantly dying even after proper care. I am also making sure that they are fed at the right time Lastweek I had one pair of glowlite tetras one black neon Tetra and 3 rosy but now I am left with only 2 rosy rest all have died . Please help !!!!
what kind of fish are these? and would they be good with a male betta
I want to get both of my betas tank mates and one of my friends told me that harlequin rasbora's and neon tetras are good I just want to make sure they are. Or if there are better fish I could put in their tank.
