The Penguin 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 Penguin 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.

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?
How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
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!

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 !!!!
My pet pike cichlid is not eating and is always staying in one corner of the tank. It is in a 20 gallon with 2 convict cichlids, 2 firemouth cichlids, 1 Oscar, and two plecos. My ammonia is 0, nitrate 0 and ph is 6.5. Water is a little tinted because of the driftwood.
I have bought 2 parrot cichlids about 20 days ago. One of the parrot fish is constantly hiding behind the filter. Eating well but when it comes out to swim the other parrot fish keeps pinching it and doesn't allow to it to move around in the tank. I don't understand the problem. Please suggest what to do. Also the color of the fish is bit dull as compared to other one.
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.
We have four cardinal tetras, three glo danios, three glo tetras and a albino Cory cat. They are all the type to only get an inch to two inches long and so we have them in a twenty gallon tank. Have gravel and silk/plastic/resin/and live plant/decor and proper filter/heater/air. Also have changed filter once a month, siphoned 25% water/debris out every two weeks using water conditioner but don't know why we have murky water and how to remedy this...
