Jeremy Roche - 2012-10-22 What size tank are you starting with? a 30 gallon is a good started tank. Good starter fish are swords, platies, guppies, mollies and a few other livebearers. Cool thing about these as you will get a chance to watch them have babies!
Natalie - 2012-07-17 Will my x ray tetra spawn??? ( my tank is only 2.25 gallon ) I currently have 4 of them, 2 female and 1 male. I'm not sure about the other. The tank is shared with 3 red cherry shrimp, 3 golden tetra, 3 cardinal tetra and 1 panda cory. Tks in advance

symbol - 2012-08-30 That sounds like a very crowded tank! It would be nice for them if you could space them out a little more. Also, I think that cory cats normally like to live in groups. Maybe you could get a bigger tank and get him some friends? I think it would be very difficult to breed fish in a 2.25 gallon tank. If you can get a bigger tank at some point, maybe you could try to find a compatible/breeding pair then.
Jeremy Roche - 2012-08-31 Way to small of a tank! Should have at least a 20 gallon tank. To spawn they really need an open area and peace from other fish. Normally a seperate tank is set up just for that purpose. Some great info if you click the link uner reproduction
Learth Hoch - 2010-10-26 I have had my pristella tetras, Sushi, Sashimi, and Sailboat, for almost 3 weeks now. They are my first fish, and they are very hardy, very tolerant fish! They are active swimmers, and oh so very cute. :D I'm thinking about getting 2 or 3 more to swim with them in my 15 gallon, since they are schooling fish. And another thing--these little buggers are FAST! When I try to catch them when I clean the aquarium, they dart away surprisingly quickly. I call them, 'The Secret Society' hahaha. I love my pristellas. :D

Charlie Roche - 2011-04-25 I am sorry that the one died. You must be doing a good job though or the others might have gotten ill also. Good luck with them.
The Pristella Tetra is a perky little fish that is social, friendly, and very easy to care for!

I just got 3 of these fish today, and I call them little taxi's.
Why did you call them fish taxis, but anyways I bought ten of them.
