Red Eye Tetras

Upping the total may help==They do feel better in bigger schools.

PS--I too do not thing a 36" tank is big enough for a Blood Parrot, I would say 48' minimum. I had 2 in my 120 for almost 2 years. They were very peaceful but started to dig. They were about 5+" (I bought them at about 1").
