That's it! I got lucky and paid a little over a $1 for him. What's weird is for an albino he see's the food better than all the tetra's in the tank.

yeah, I believe yours is an albino, couldn't find a good picture, but just search 'albino pristella tetra'

the albinos have the dark eyes

edit: I had better luck with bing images rather than google

double edit: this shows both versions - http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile...illaris&id=496

Anybody know where I can get a few more albino pristella so he isn't lonely?

Right now I have
3 red barb tetras
3 candy cane tetras
2 red tetras(i think they are called, had another one but he died)
3 gloTetra(love these guys)
1 albino pristella -xray tetra

in a 20 gallon high tank.
How many more tetras can I put in my tank?

Definitely don't get any more new speies. You really need to get some more of the ones you have and have a school of at least six of each. However, you need to be aware that that will massively overstock you (just four schools of 6 would be really pushing it).

Is there any way you can rehome a couple of your different species, or return your pristella, so that you can focus on giving your current fish what they need?

are the glofish you bought zebra danios? or the tetras that glow? im curious ^-^ because i got regular ol' zebra danios, and was looking at the glofish danios they had at petco and at a local pet store. they were 10 bucks a fish at the LFS!

I might be able to rehome the 2 red tetras i have(silverish red color)

I see that they need to school but the first pet store said all species will school together so I bought a bunch. Then I got home and read up they need 4-6 each but some people say 3 of each will work? Its quite confusing. The pristella one seems to school with the rest of them and is eating like a mad man. The red cherry barbs and glo tetras are swimming about no problem as well.

Petland has glofish(dannios) for $4.88 in NY. The GloTetra's are $9 a piece and only one pet store has them near me.
