Welcome to the club!

Are you wanting to add a big fish to your tetra tank? .. you are also wanting to add a 55G and put some aggresive fish in it? Don't be shy to post some pics of your tetra tank. We love pics here!

We will help you stock, but we need to know what kind of fish you like first. There are a lot of fish that will fit in those tanks. lol We have tons of great members (knowledgeable as well I might add). Give us a short list of fish that you like the looks of and we'll help you pick the right little friend!

Welcome to usafishbox . Looks like serpae tetra which can be fin nippers so fish with longer fins are a no no.How long has this tank been running and is it cycled? I would add plants and schools of 3 different tetras. 6 to 8 of the same fish per school. with cory school for the bottom. Beautiful tank.

Hey goodpic,You need to get your tank cycled before adding any more fish.

your best investment is a freshwater master test kit. Have you been doing water changes?
