I used to have a bunch of neons, then I got an angelfish who got in the mood for a snack one day... That was the day I learned the importance of research in this hobby.
I actually currently have a mixture of everything LOL. I have one molly, one tetra, and one loach. All in a ten gallon. I have no idea what I'm getting next
I have 1 neon tetra in a school of cloud mountain minnows. She LOVES this video! She was a rescue and the only survivor. I do not have room for more tetras so I show her this! She responds to it! I like it also!
I’ve named my guppies Bennie and the Jets and my clowns Jack, Jill and Jimmy Johnson :) My third tank is still cycling, can’t wait to put cardinal tetras in it
I kept a 100gal Tetra tank with 180 Cardinals, along with groups of a few other tetra species, and a collection of 29 dif species of Corydoras catfish :) I fed them 4 to 6 X's a day. They were ravenous. Tons of filtration, and lots of water changes though, so no problems :) Fun !
Hey, Doc Aqua! I like your tank, and your fish, but, to really see the schooling behavior, it would have been nice to see some full tank video! Keep up the good work.
ohhhhh wie hübsch, ich finde die blaue farbe leutet richtig kräftig auch das rot ist prall zu erkennen^^ niedlich erinnert mich an meinen kleinen schwarm
Fish Tales Fyi these are cardinal tetras. Much larger than neons, so more color, more vibrant n pretty sure hardier too! Def one of my favorites!!! I cn see how the comments turned to neons bc the first commenter stated neons vs cardinals.
they aren't 'schooling' they are 'shoaling'....meh sorry but couldn't resist. There is a difference. A 'school' of fish all swim together in the same direction like herring. A Shoal just hang out in big groups together. Love your cardinals. great peaceful tank mate. Keep it up.
My God Man!!! What do you feed these fish??? It must surely be delicious beyond any other fish food! For they Gobble it up and then Dance to the beat of the Music! I must have the knowledge of what this amazing fish food is! Thank you!!! P.s. hahahaha… :)
Beautiful set up but cant help wondering how you clean up the substrate from fish waste and left over food. I'd love to know cause its a beautiful setup I would like myself.
thanks i do over filter using 2 external eheims and change water 50L at weekend and sometimes 25L midweek too I also use prime and nitrate absorbers i usually run pretty much zero levels, so yea thx ill bang a few more in :)
This is a well done video kudos. I think though for comparison of size and motion you should get a larger goldfish. the gold color would really shine with the blue. Just one really large one.
I like them more when there are other species in the tank to. They show more school behavior then. Now they are just a bit chaotic imo. But epic tank and looking very good!
+eganrawr Ecological conditions. Soft acid water with humic acid, low-medium light, 25°C no more, lots of plants, only pacific small fishes (so no stress) with them, good food with lots of live, perfectly clean water, a school of at lest 10 tetras, better 20-30. In clear a regional tank of tetras...
Hola, son peces amazónicos, el agua debe de ser un poco ácida, y si te gusta un poco amarillenta puedes filtrar con turba, que acidifica el agua y a estos peces les gusta. Si tienes espacio y filtración suficiente puedes meter Corydoras mínimo 4 ó 5, Otocinclus mínimo 4 ó 5 también. Una pareja de Ramirezzi, otros tetras que no sean muy grandes y los tomen por comida, como el limón, el aletas sangrantes, rasboras, borrachitos...Yo tengo un Betta con ellos, pero entonces solo puedes tener un macho y no puedes tener la pareja de ramirezzi. Si lo vas a poner con un betta coje al beta pequeño, lo más joven posible, y mete primero a los otros peces, así no te dará problemas. Y si pones un beta ponle plantas con una hoja sobre la que el betta pueda dormir.
nice school of cardinals, i have a 180L but I am not able to get them to school up just yet they tend to hide in the heavily planted areas, theres about 15 and a few other tetras in there, nothing big or aggressive.
Hello this is from a I phone. But I have the regular blue, and 12 cardinals, my question is does the red fill in over time? Or are they just pale looking from shipping? They look just like this video though. Thx.
neon tetras have the red color ending in the middle of their body while cardinal tetras have the red line filled to the tail ... maybe yours are not showing full colors because - as you said - shipping.
Cool thanks. They all died!!!! Weird!!! My discus are doing great!!! And eat like pigs. Those cardinal never ate anything, and they just started dropping 1 at a time. Any thoughts. Temp maybe?
They live in the same temp as discus.. so if your discus are ok, they should be also. Cardinal tetras are somewhat hard to mantain, the way they were collected and the stress level they passed while transporting, may cause them to do not eat ... you have to put cardinals on a hospital tank and offer live food before sending em to your main aquarium. Also, the PH must be 5.5 - 6.5. Not much water movement and some shadowed places where they might seek for protection. Buying a school of 20-30 will help them adapt faster.
Matt Richison THe water has to be just right for them! #1 Zero Ammonia or very little, Zero or very, very little Nitrite. #2 The Ph has to be within proper limits. #3 The temperature has to be right! #4 YOu have to make sure the tank is at least a month or more old so the Bacteria is completely set. I have 22 Cardinal tetras and have had them for 6 Months and they are very, very healthy! Find out what the proper PH is and water temperature for your Tetras! And put Bacteria into the water on a regular basis until it's set up! I put Bacteria in for a month, every day! Every time you do a water change or add water, you have to add a little bacteria again. P.s. And yes, the transportation method may have wore then out. Oh, when first adding fish, turn the lights off or way down. It helps them to calm.
Hi! I was wondering how big a tank this is! I have a 75 gallon corner, and I'm wondering if 100 tetras is enough, or not! As I need to have them shipped in. 😊
Does anyone know what the low plants are giving ground coverage in this tank please? We're in the process of setting up something very similar but really like this!
Kann mich meinem Vorredner nur anschließen! :D Ist das eine Rotala, links im hinterenbereich ? Und sind die Neons schon ausgewachsen? Oder bessergesagt, weist du ungefähr wie alt die sind?
las piedras que utilizan son verdaderas? yo tengo piedras plasticas y en ellas crecen algas y no las limpio ... tengo adicionalemte una corriente de agua submarina a traves de una bomba submarina ... pero aun no logro tener Crias !!!! tengo mas de 70 peces Neones y 5 coridoras.... que podria hacer para obtener crias ?... Gracias
Hola Eduardo, obtener crías del Paracheirodon axelrodi es bien difícil en cautiverio, en ocasiones llegan a desovar en los acuarios, pero los otros peces se llegan a comer los huevos rápidamente, por lo que pocas veces se logra reproducirlos planetacuario.net/index.php/areas/acuario-de-agua-dulce/peces/item/681-paracheirodon-axelrodi-schultz-1956
Question: Where can I buy some stones that are not to expensive that are INTERT? IN other words that don't' raise the PH? I am about to set up my 55 gallon… all I need now are the stones. I"d like to buy them a local rock company because I am really into doing DIY… and to save money… but would be willing to spend a little more if they are cool stones… I know slate is good but any other thoughts?
Tharn Berry local rock companies will carry them. I meant drainage rocks. They are use around drainage ditch by landscapers. I usually pick the shape I want instead of chipping them.
Fish aren't necessary to cycle a new tank. Instead, use small amounts of fish food. As this rots, it will release ammonia which will help the tank cycle. HTH
I used to have a bunch of neons, then I got an angelfish who got in the mood for a snack one day... That was the day I learned the importance of research in this hobby.
same thing with me but with a leopard puffer LMAO
I actually currently have a mixture of everything LOL. I have one molly, one tetra, and one loach. All in a ten gallon. I have no idea what I'm getting next
tetras, they should be ine groups of 5 or more, plus they look better
what kind of loach do you have?some get very big or die trying.
I had the same think happen then I learned that angels was a type of ciclid and would eat smaller fish.
Beautiful aquarium and you take such good care of all of those tetras!
I have 1 neon tetra in a school of cloud mountain minnows. She LOVES this video! She was a rescue and the only survivor. I do not have room for more tetras so I show her this! She responds to it! I like it also!
Awesome, I particularly liked the one with the blue and red stripes down it's body - I've named him Wolsley
I like the wider shots, so peaceful.
"GREAT" I mean I never seen this cardinal tetras in huge quantity like this, & they are so beautiful and healthy.
I’ve named my guppies Bennie and the Jets and my clowns Jack, Jill and Jimmy Johnson :) My third tank is still cycling, can’t wait to put cardinal tetras in it
This might sound dumb but this here is my dream tank. I’ve always wanted to get just tons of a tetra and just put them in a nice tank.
Doesnt sound dumb at all. A lot of people keep the same type of fish in a large number in 1 tank.
Thats what i did. No big fish. m.th-cam.com/video/4sNgwfeN4Kw/w-d-xo.html
Me too
I kept a 100gal Tetra tank with 180 Cardinals, along with groups of a few other tetra species, and a collection of 29 dif species of Corydoras catfish :) I fed them 4 to 6 X's a day. They were ravenous. Tons of filtration, and lots of water changes though, so no problems :) Fun !
Thank you very much.... for giving this opportunity
Hey, Doc Aqua! I like your tank, and your fish, but, to really see the schooling behavior, it would have been nice to see some full tank video! Keep up the good work.
Neon fishies are so cute, beautyful and easy to keeping creatures.... Perfect choice.
Beautiful and peaceful fish. From an ex Aquarium shop owner and stockist.
Really cool video. :) Love the colors. Neon tetras look really good in big groups.
That isn't a neon tetra. That my friend is a bigger cousin and as stated in the title, cardinal tetras
This defiantly made me smile, great job
Hi there your neons are beautiful i bought 5. And only 2 survived there beautiful fish thou thanks for your video
Those are Cardinal Tetras, not Neons.
Theyre slightly larger and have more red. They also require different water parameters and care.
first time i saw these guys Polska,they're so tiny.shiny and also very relaxing to watch
ahh the colors! great scape and fish.
Please can you give us more details on the tank, like filter and plants etc...Looks great btw!
Awesome! I'm about to get some Cardinals-never had them before.
What a beautiful tank setup.
I've been using Stability on my new 135 for 3-4 weeks and I've added 50 Cardinals. It's been 2 weeks and they're doing great!
ohhhhh wie hübsch, ich finde die blaue farbe leutet richtig kräftig auch das rot ist prall zu erkennen^^ niedlich erinnert mich an meinen kleinen schwarm
My wife asks how do you keep track of all their names, lol.
fun video...
+Hetzer 1701 tag them. .or tattoo
+Hetzer 1701 LOL, my wife asked me a similar question when I was adding 20 cardinals to my tank..
They all are named Bob, except for Marty, he's the special one.
fenrirgg Marty is actually a neon tetra.
thing one thing two thing three thing four and so on
music is a perfect match
its like they're dancing!
Lovely video and music. Inspiring!
Неоны классные рыбки! А почему написано кардиналы?
Gorgeous tank!
It would be nice if you had some nice discus in there too. Thanks. I did that once but got bored with it.
How many gallon tank? However,this is magnificent.
Beautiful scape and fish look so healthy! Love the picture :)
cool love the neon tetras they always make a great addition to any aquarium.

Que regocijo para los ojos, precioso cardumen
buen video, si señor
Great color on those tetras
Love the ryuoh stones, best looking ones for aquariums imo.
amazing..beautiful tetra..best music. what this music?
they aren't 'schooling' they are 'shoaling'....meh sorry but couldn't resist. There is a difference. A 'school' of fish all swim together in the same direction like herring. A Shoal just hang out in big groups together. Love your cardinals. great peaceful tank mate. Keep it up.
Incredible! This inspired me to get 100 cardinals too!
One word , AMAZING ! What coloured LED lights are used ??
That's a very beautiful tank.
How do you clean this tank? I love it and want to do the same but I'm not sure how to clean it with so many plants in it.
nice tank.
Wow. That absolutely beautiful. I give you a 10.
Omg
My God Man!!! What do you feed these fish??? It must surely be delicious beyond any other fish food! For they Gobble it up and then Dance to the beat of the Music!
I must have the knowledge of what this amazing fish food is!
Thank you!!!
P.s. hahahaha… :)
Looks like he's feeding them live (or frozen) brine shrimp.
The more they are, the more they freak on food
Thank you for sharing your vid.
Very nice, very nice in deed.
Beautiful tank setup ❤️
Beautiful set up but cant help wondering how you clean up the substrate from fish waste and left over food. I'd love to know cause its a beautiful setup I would like myself.
With the right fish on the floor its easy..
Love the tank!!!
How many gallons is this aquarium? Great video by the way.
Can you use outside rocks for aquarium because shop rocks are ridiculous pricey...?
Great, healthy-looking fish! Is this tank still running?
How many cardinals could I fit in a 14 gallon? Thanks
I have 14 in 11 gallons along with 6 rummy nose, couple of otocinclus and a pair of albino corydoras. I CHANGE WATER 25% every week twice.
Very nice! Congratulations! My neons are scared of the light and hide in one corner of the tank.. What is the first music?
thanks i do over filter using 2 external eheims and change water 50L at weekend and sometimes 25L midweek too I also use prime and nitrate absorbers i usually run pretty much zero levels, so yea thx ill bang a few more in :)

Awesome sharing ❤
I like them more when there are other species in the tank to. They show more school behavior then. Now they are just a bit chaotic imo. But epic tank and looking very good!
yes i agree, they looks even better when moving together
That's a beautiful tank
What kind of Lamp you have used to do this movie?
This Lamp color gave a great color to Neon =)
Believe they're cardinal tetras, with the full red underbelly. But anyones guess is as good as mine😉
So beautiful. Have always wanted an aquarium but cant afford it. Its always about the money..
Thanx..
I’m getting a 5 ft set up with only neon tetras 😃⚡️ will be interesting to see how many I can get in there.
Awesome tank matey……personally id add a few shrimp, for ground level activity, but i can't make a tank like this so….
Can you spot the bubbles coming from aquatic plant
Beautiful Fish!
Can I know the size of this tank?
Tank dimensions?also what filter is used?carpeting plant doesnt do that good though...
Cuántos neones te quedan ya?
Just wondered so they’re not schooling ? Unlike firehead tetra
how to make them so colorful like his? mine were not too red.

+audi30 gracias por tu respuesta amigo !!!
What kind of Stones are you using here? I mean the ones standing up with white stripes in them…
Hi, my tetras are sick. They have a lump near their mouth. Is there any cure?
Un verdadero espectáculo, gracias por el video, saludos
What lamp did you use ?
I have 3guppies can I put the cardinals tetras with them?
nice
OMG! I want to live there hahaha..
what did you used to make the background of this tank..how is it looking super black as well as the roof..

I get larger sewer rocks and chip them into the shape I want. The ones I get are pretty much inert. I do boil them before hand though.
Tharn Berry Hahaha... are you serious???
Mike Kollin local
Tharn Berry local rock companies will carry them. I meant drainage rocks. They are use around drainage ditch by landscapers. I usually pick the shape I want instead of chipping them.
Very good video!!
What size tank do you use for the cardinal tetra's? How do you use for you substrate.
How is that rock still clean. Mine stone gets overgrown by green alge.
+Kemal Malovic Too much light, too much nitrates, too hot water.
awesome aquascape bro! why don't you add some fish that would enjoy that heavy cover, such as a few kuhli loaches
Oooh that looks lively
Stunning ! ....I only have 8 in my tank :)
Wow dude! There are so many of them! I love schooling fish!
did you use any black water solution ?
what is the name of the rocks and the plants?
Fish aren't necessary to cycle a new tank. Instead, use small amounts of fish food. As this rots, it will release ammonia which will help the tank cycle. HTH
In my country, the the of these kind of fish is just red neon. The cardinal tetra is another look like.
