OH NO!
That's not good!
Darn, What should I do? Maybe they won't nip?
*Keeping fingers crossed that they get along!*
I don't know how i missed that, I asked they fish lady and said it was ok? and other people as well!
Aww...I hope everything will be ok!

Boy they must be in heaven in that large set up!

I'd just keep an eye on them, they may not nip. Some tetras are worse than others. I can't really tell what kind you have.
I have neon tetras in with my betta & no problems what so ever.

If you can put in more decoartions that have hidy holes & the such it may help the fish live together better, giving them each a safe spot of their own to hide in if need be.

Tetras are school fish though and do best in groups of at least 5 or more.

That's a huge tank! Very pretty. I think the tetras will behave being that there's so much room for them to swim around. Are you going to get any other fish?

Beautiful set up! I have a tank with 2 frontosas and 1 pleco in it. The Fronts are very large fish. Frontosas are aggressive and are supposed to be in groups of no less than 6 otherwise "they will kill each other." Lilo and Stitch (my fish) have been together for 3 years without an incident. Just watch them. All fish are different. Almost no rules apply to all of them.

Make sure you do 20% water changes for a while so the ammonia doesn't kill the fish. Since the tank is new there is no "good" bacterial to eat up the ammonia the fish give off. 20% water changes will reduce the ammonia and allow the good bacteria to grow. After the tank is cycled (meaning there is enough good bacteria to eat up the ammonia the fish give off) Then you can cut back on the water changes. You may have known that already, but a lot of people lose fish that way. Your fish are small and won’t give off too much ammonia, but it’s always a risk with new, un-cycled tanks.

Also, if you are going to add more fish don't do it too quickly. More fish means more ammonia and if there are too many even regular water changes won't keep the ammonia level down.

I don't think it's as big as the person says it is?
I measuered the tank and i think it's smaller than what i was told!
