The rummy nose tetra is a great fish that will add heaps of activity to the tank. The hardest part of keeping them is the transit, where water parameters are crucial. These fish are also very sensitive to chlorine and salt.

Just placed a dozen Rummy Nose Tetra in our 55 Gallon tank last night now that our fish-gulping Spanner-T Barb has passed on. Had bought no new fish for months bordering on a year due to it's high-priced "sushi" appetite.

A few years ago I did research on the Rummy Nose Tetras and wrote an article on it. (It should be reprinted by F.A.A.S. as its 1993 article of year, so many aquarium society's can get a copy of it).

These fish include (but are not limited to) neon tetras, cardinal tetras, rummy nose tetras, hatchetfish, elephantnoses, and discus... in addition, most live plants will not tolerate it either.
