Looking to buy a bunch of tetra's in Auckland

What type? Diamond, pristella, cardinal etc etc.  HFF and New Pupuke both have bulk purchase deals going.

Looking for something that would go well with my angels and wouldn't nip their fins. Would lemon tetra or rummy nose be fine, what are your thoughts, what do you think I should go with

Thanks heaps for all the help

 

 

Tetras (any) are unlikely to nip your angels fins however your angels will nip at and eat any that fit in their mouths.  So bigger tetra like lemon, pristella, diamon might be okay, rummynose once they are bigger should be fine.  If you have angels that pair up nothing will be safe.

Neons, cardinals are no good apart from being a food source for your adult angels.

Sometimes it may just depend on the temperament of your angels.  I have mine as the only mid-upper level fish in my tank apart from my SAE.  Then I have corys for the bottom level.  They have a well planted and heavily driftwood laden tank to hide in if necessary.

  Ok thanks, I've got 19 neon tetra, 13 cores, 4 ottos, and 2 really small angels in my 125ltr tank heavily planted. In my 400ltr I've got my larger angel with some danios and platys

  The angels leave the neon tetra alone even when the bigger on was there he left them, I got him and a buddy when they were small, now my brother has the buddy coz they fought, the large angels never bothered the neon tetra

 

I'll try get some photos

nvm I can't sorry

 

Will red eyed tetra nip at the angels fins??

Nice looking set ups

hey nice set up just ive had exsperince i use to have 120 gal tank before i moved onto fighter fish 

i had 2 angel fish and 6 neon tetras not a good mix i  started having half eaten tetras once in awhile  couldnt quite understand so one day i just was looking and witnessed angel fish bitting tetra and ate its head then asked around and angel fish are not to be but with fish smaller than them as much as they are adorable and so harmless looking they will eat things smaller than them if its easy target  

just something to take in consederation goodluck

Tanks looking really nice but, as said, eventually you are going to have nipped, and eaten, fish in there. They are often good when smaller but they get to a certain size then get territorial and the attacks start. Some angelfish never attack other fish but they are rare.

Thanks for the advice guys

 Just wondering how come my large angel was with new small neons but didn't eat any when they could easily fit in his mouth. Sorry I'm just curious and a bit confused.

 

Fish are like humans - some are good natured and easy going whereas others are mean and nasty. You will get the occasional angel that is good with whatever is added to the tank but others will attack. If you have a pair of angels that start spawning then nothing will be safe!
