Question: Butterfly Fish and Card. Tetras?

sheamurai · July 6th, 2009

Hi
I just saw some Butterfly fish at the LFS today, and I'd like to get one, but I'm told they will eat smaller surface dwelling fish. Tetras are not really surface dwellers (at least not in my tank) but I am still leery.

Does anyone else have or have tried Butterly and Cardinal or Neon Tetras in the same tank?

Opinions welcome even if you haven't tried them as tankmates.

Thanks in advance all!

I think smaller tetras would be eaten when the African butterfly gets some size on it.
