Bought a Redtail Vampire Tetra

These are Tats right?

Its about 4" now, have him in a 55gallon until i upgrade. Hes in there with my pleco, but ive read i should remove the pleco, so ill probably do that soon.

So he should only get to 12" is what ive read, thats what im hoping for as well

Better lighting might tell. The adipose fin and tail should have the same color. Eye should be dark in color. Should be able to leave the pleco in.

Im sure its color will change, i just got him yesterday, but im confident the tail is red along with the ither small fin

The gold sheen on the body tells me it is a tat.....call it what it is and not that corny,pet shop vampire tetra crap.

I bought a power head, i still need to add a bubble stick or probably another air pump per the tank setup recommendations

This is what it currently looks like 55g

Armatus?

So i put 4 feeders/ small goldfish in his tank. He ate one at the time i put them in and then another a few hours later.

He looks pretty skinny and i was worried if i should scoop a couple out, not sure if he would over eat.


I know i need to get him off live food, i read the stickies but i dont remember seeing a reason way to get him off live food.


Since he is small currently and is in a 55g, wuld a 75gallon be enough for him or a 90 gallon once grown?
