Rummynose tetras are my personal favourite and they stand out very well in a planted aquarium. If your pH is higher and less acidic, you could try out a different type of tetra. These are similar to tetras, but tend to be a little smaller and tolerate a lower pH than most tetras will. If your pH is on the lower, more acidic end, you could possibly get rasboras. I'd also remove the shells, though I know that isn't the point of this thread. Personally, I would increase the amount of amano shrimp to a minimum of 6 and rehome the tetras. A perfect fish for beginners, the White Skirt Tetra are a beautiful addition to any fishkeepers tank. This breed is commonly available and doesnt require a lot of caretaking. This fish will reach about 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm) in the home aquarium but will breed at just 1 1/2 inches. Make sure that you always check that decor for your aquarium is safe for your fish, your type of aquarium (freshwater, saltwater, e.c.t.) and that it won't leach out any harmful chemicals, dyes or minerals. White Skirt Tetra are peaceful tankmates to a freshwater community. The White Tetra is a deep-bodied species and laterally compressed. It is very robust, requires little caretaking and its easy to.

Tetras do best in around 6.8-7.8 pH, whereas amano shrimp prefer a much lower pH of around 6.0-7.0. The White Skirt Tetra is commonly available and its a good breed for a beginner fish keeper. It may also upset your amano shrimp, as they prefer more acidic water than tetras do. After doing a little research on these fish, I've found from the experiences of other fishkeepers that white skirt tetras have been known to attack larger shrimp and other fish smaller than themselves.ДЄs an extra note, sea shells can deteriorate and dissolve over time in freshwater, which can raise the pH and make it difficult to maintain the tank and keep it at a stable pH level.

White skirt tetras are regarded as being somewhat aggressive, since they're known to be fin-nippers (which isn't all too uncommon in larger tetras like these). They can also become stressed out, which can ultimately lead to death in extreme cases if left unchecked. They swim around in groups, creating a stunning swathe of color in your aquarium.

I have 6 white skirts and about 20 ghost shrimp. They also like relatively neutral waters with a hardness rating between 5 and 17 dGH.

With schooling fish, when kept in smaller numbers it has been observed by many fishkeepers (including myself) that they can become withdrawn, shy and skittish. Embers do best in warm temperatures between 73 and 84 degrees. As well as this, tetras are schooling fish and should be in groups of 8 or more. What size is your tank and what are the dimensions? Do you have any knowledge of the water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH)? If so, listing them would be appreciated.ДЄmano shrimp are social animals, and should be in groups of at least 6.
