Tetra's are awesome! What Tetra's do you have in your tanks?

[FRIENDLYFISHIES]

My first experience with with tetra's was when I was 12, I had 6 neons, my betta ate them and I never replaced them, it was very short lived lol.

Anywho I havent had tetra's since and I just invested in 3 Bloodfin tetras to help cycle my 20 gallon long planted tank and they are seriously cool fish! Incredibly social and active, its relaxing to watch them.

Now I am curious as to how many of you also have tetra's? What types? Which tetra is your favorite and why?

Feel free to share pictures too!

I have 4 von rios, they school most of the time, but not always. Their funny little fish. I have a couple neons too. Tetras are not my favorites, which is why I don't have so many, but really cool when you have a lot and they school in a big swarm.

That is one big tank Loha! those are cool looking fishes! Never heard of some of those, great to know the names of some others.
Never heard of Von Rios either! sounds neat Zebra.
Sounds like I have some fish to google lol.
Anyone else?

3 sepera tetras super fast active fish they stick together in my 20 long which also houses 2 blue gourami 2 convict cichlids ( removing them soon to new tank, they are the smallest in the 20, an next month I'm getting a 55 for them ) 2shubunkin goldfish kings of the tank larger then all other fish, I know that its a lot of fish for a 20 long but I do 50% water changes weekly and test water levels frequently

We've got 10 black neons, and I love watching them, too-they're very inquisitive, and since they're all we have in there right now, they make use of every inch of the tank. I love watching them line themselves up.

Those bloodfins are pretty. We were thinking about adding some cardinals eventually, because the middle of the tank looks so bare right now.
