Vid: (if my dumb phone will let me)
 
Nope. Won't let me.. Never mind.. :/
 
Good morning I'm so happy for you:) What other tetra were you interested in?
 
I was thinking maybe some lemons and cardinals.. How many will fit in my tank? I don't want to over croud them.. Will 25 tetras, 10 Cory catfish and 2 SDs fit in 250ltrs?
 
Personally 25 tetra may be to much for your bioload, remember you must put every fish in the tank in the equation.
 
How often do check your water parameters, and what is your wc routine if you don't mind me asking. Also what type of filter are you using?
 
40-50% weekly pwc, and bi-weekly am, ni, na and PH testing. And it runs a 3000ltr/hr canister filter. :)
 
Ok now that I know what you're routine is go for it with a total of 25 tetra's total , but if any changes in the parameters remove some of the fish. Cardinal tetra are sensitive to ph change so acclimate them very carefully. :)
 
Yeah I was looking at some silver tips at the LFS earlier and think they're guna be a bit easier than cardinals. So I'm guna grab some tomorrow. :)
