I have a 75 gallon tank waiting for fish. I am looking to put a school of about 10 of either of these fish. Which do you reccomend?
Black Skirts Or Colombian Tetras?

I prefer Black Skirts, but this is all down to personal preference really.

Looks. What about glow light tetras? They are a wonderful fish. We have schools in two of our aquariums.FreshwaterAquarist652 said:Is it looks or behavior?
Or Buenos Aires Tetras? I never had them but have heard they are nice fish.
1. Glow light.
2. Buenos Aires Tetras. Not a great shot. This was taken at a pet store.

That Buenos Aires looks pretty good. I will have to decide which one after I see them in person

Personal preference: Black Skirts they are a "Blast" in my tank. Chasing, playing tag, flashing eachother and of course when they school together it is so "Beautiful"

Buenos Aires are NOT nice. They are mean, nasty, and big females can easily get 4 inches.
I'd go with Colombian Red and Blue.
Adult Black Skirts are not black, they are grey. They also get over 3 inches. They breed at a much smaller size, so people don't realize how big they can actually get if given the space.

Indeed if the tank was 30 gallon I would recommend Colombians. But being a 75 gallon tank I think a large shoal of 3" Black Skirts would look great.chromedome52 said:Buenos Aires are NOT nice. They are mean, nasty, and big females can easily get 4 inches.
