Faran Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Animates has them all the time, and they arrive quite fat and happy from the wholesaler. Average cost is about $7 each and they're mostly clear with blue highlights. For my money I decided to go with Emperor Tetras - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Shop tanks don't always do them justice. They catch the light beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 You should see the blue tetras when they're busy displaying and trying to breed, beautiful glowing blue with red fringes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaymann Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 they should put them under an "actinic" tube for display ... my cardinals look "bluddy trippy" running this light ( my after hours light).... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
