Question
I was at my LFS and saw some interesting little fish. I was told they are Rummynose Tetras and I bought 6 of them and they are in a 75 gallon tank with three Swordtails. What other kind of fish could I keep with these?

Answer
Hi Jeff

I have many Rummynose Tetras myself. They make a nice colorful addition to community tanks. They should be kept with other small peaceful fish. The best choices for tankmates are Mollies, Swordtails, Guppies, Buenos Aires Tetras, Black Tetras, Neon Tetras, Cory Cats, Blind Cave Tetra, Dwarf Gourami, GloFish, Kuhli Loach, Molly, Otto Catfish, Platy, Pleco, Raphael Catfish, Serpae Tetra, Siamese Algae Eater, Silver Hatchetfish, Silver Tip Tetra, Zebra Danio.

Hope this is helpful to you, good luck!
