How To Care Tetra Fish , And its Tankmates | Urdu/Hindi
Tetra Fish ::
Tetra’s are among the most common and popular tropical fish. This is due to their small size, calm temperament, low cost, hardiness and strong colorations.
Tetras are very easy to care for and can be housed with almost any other non-agressive species. The small size and nature of Tetra fish often means they will school together in the aquarium. This is a desirable trait in freshwater species and can add a brilliant effect to any large aquarium.
There are countless species of tetra. The most common aquarium additions include Neon Tetra, Cardinal Tetra, Penguin Tetra, Harlequin Tetra, Rummynose Tetra, Glowlight Tetra, Ember Tetra & Glowlight Tetra. These species have excellent colorations, lively personalities and are less sensitive to water conditions than other fish. They have a maximum size of 2" and can live up to 10 years in captivity if properly cared for.
Temperature ~74°F
The optimum aquarium temperature for Tetras is around 72°F - 78°F (22°C-26°C). When housed with Discus at 80°F+ Tetras will generally have a higher metabolism and become stressed more easily. Their life span will also become shorter.
pH 6.5 | Hardness 6.0
Keep your pH between about 5.5 and 7. Tank bred Tetras may accept lower or higher pH depending on the store water parameters. Be sure to check this when purchasing.
Relative water hardness should be 4kH - 8kH. This will replicate relatively soft conditions similar to the amazon.
Max Size ~2"
Both males and females can grow to around 2".
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrite should always be 0.
Ammonia 0ppm
Tetras are sensitive to ammonia spikes. They may lose color and breathe rapidly.
Nitrate 40ppm
Nitrates should always be as close to 0ppm as possible. Any reading under 40ppm is suitable for keeping Tetras. Elevated levels can be reduced by adding aquatic plants and increasing the number of water changes.
Purchasing Tetras
Tetra species are originally South American streams including the Amazon. This explains their need for softer water conditions and lower pH. Although tank bred varieties will tolerate elevated levels of pH or dH, lowering these will help them thrive.
A few species of tetra like the Congo Tetra tend to be more aggressive and are best kept in a species aquarium. Discuss stocking options with your local fish store and mention your concerns about compatibility before making any purchase decisions. An excellent, reasonably priced tetra to trial as your first tropical fish is the neon tetra. These are easily identifiable by their bright red and neon blue stripes. They are usually around $1 each and even less when purchased in a school.
Tetras are best purchased as a school of at least 3 to 4 of the same species. This will help make the fish more secure in the environment and less stressed.
Adding the Tetras
Ensure the aquarium has been cycled and chemically tested. Try to ensure that the readings are within the parameters listed above.
Float the unopened package or plastic bag in the aquarium for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the water in the bag to increase to the same temperature as that in the aquarium. The bags should be filled with oxygen meaning there is little risk of leaving the fish sealed for a while longer.
After 10 minutes cut open one side of the bag. Slowly pour one cup of water from the aquarium into the bag and let it sit for 5 minutes. Continue this process for 3-4 cups of water, you may need to clip or wedge the bag to the side of the aquarium to prevent it falling over.
Use a soft net to collect the Tetras from the bag and gently place them into the aquarium. Dispose of the fish store water from the bag. This method will improve the survivability of your Tetras dramatically.
