tetras with guppies?

[fishisme]

I am thinking of getting rid of most of my male guppies. just keep a few of the best. i think i have about 14 gupies about 50-50 of each male and femail. I am thinking of getting some tetras and putting them with the guppies. Maybe about 3-5. I am not sure which ones i want yet but does it matter? do tetras school?

Thanks David D

yes tetras a schooling fish and should be kept in a group of 5 or more and well my guppy likes to school with my neons and he thinks that my bloodfin tetra is one of him i think becuz he schools with him mainly.

Guppies are not a schooling fish, but the tetras will school if they are in a big enough group. Most people say 6 or more, but it all depends on the fish.
