how big is sparky now? I think you should keep the congo tetras you have and not add anymore.
Sparky is around 9 inches. He is going to Beau1990 at the end of the June or May.

I finally picked up some tilapia for him. He loves it!

I also got 4 new Congo Tetras. Someone posted on Nextdoor that they needed 4 adults to leave because they were ”bullying their guppies” and “got too big for a 10 gallon” even though they are “just tetras”. Nevertheless, I got them free. I’ve had them for a few days, and they ate within 30 minutes of introduction. One fascinates me. It has a very large eye. Anyway, here are some photos of all the fish!
Also, I apologize for the diatoms - water change day is tomorrow.

This is the Congo that has the big eye. He is super cool!

I like the way the tank looks from the side.

The largest of the Tetra ripped off a leaf of the Anubis’s.

Both of your scapes are amazing!

Are both the eyes large or just one? It could possibly be stunted or have popeye from an injury by another tetra.
