Tank is my sig tank, I want to choose one or the other for a larger school. Right now I have 3 Congo and 4 Lemon, the Saums I do not have in the tank yet as I'm getting them from a local breeder and right now they are just wigglers.

My concerns are as follows - the Lemon tetras aren't as big in the body as a Congo but have more shape to them then say a neon tetra. Also these Lemons are bright yellow and just gorgeous. The Congo's get larger then the Lemon so I won't have as big of a school of them (and having a large school of tetra is something I wish to do in this tank).

Or I could just keep them both and build on the school size, but I think one large school would look best.
 
Never had saums(yet, getting close to rolling the dice and hoping for a chill one) but tried lemon tetras with an ebjd and the lemons started disappearing fast. I'd try congos or even bleeding hearts.
