Tetras for Angels

[Silverchild23]

Hey
What are the best tetras that you can keep as shoaling fish with angels? Ie. not fin-nippers / not highly edible ? :dance2:
Thanks

I keep at school of 12 Rummynose Tetras with my Angels in a planted 75g tank. They look great and school like nobodies business!

Rummynose would be good. I use black neons just for something different, I haven't had any problems with them yet either way.

I have Black Skirt and Buenos Aires Tet's with my Angels.

All good in fishie land until the Angels spawn; the they get a hate on for the BA Tet's...

ok...
i like black neons, but will any of the above tetra become food for the angels?

I have just moved a pair of angels in to a tank with black neons..so far no real interest in the black neons..

spawning angels may take a battle line with any fish in the tank.

but generally larger tetras should be fine with the exception of an occassional nip.

I have black skirt tetras, silver tipped tetras, rummy nose, lemon, glowlight, buenos aires, purple emperor, and blood fin tetras with my angels..they are all fine. I do have a school of cherry barbs as well that do fine..

is it only really neon tetras that are eaten by angels then? what in your opinions the prettiest tetra to get?

red eyes, lemon, rummynose, black skirt, and diamond tetras are all good choices.
