Hello, I was wondering if someone can give me "the basics" on tetras. I have two bettas in large bowls that are doing well and I decided I wanted to try a mini aquarium, 2 gallon. A friend of mine has one with 3 black widow tetras and they are getting along good so I thought I would go with the same setup. I realize that some people do not like these little tanks and I have read and researched and know what I will have to do to keep it clean and healthy for the fish. I am pretty obssessive about keeping the betta's bowls clean so I have no problem with the frequent cleaning. Of course I'd like to have a big aquarium but I can't do that right now. I haven't been able to find the kind of info on tetras on the web that there is about bettas, their habits, etc., so I was hoping someone here would be able to help me with that. I have the aquarium set up and was planning on going to get the tetras later today.
