I wouldn't keep them with smaller more subdued tetra's as the males tend to joust really fast up and down the length of the tank so it'd probably disturb smaller tetras. They'd be fine with Rams in my opinion but they are aggressive feeders. Gourami's, you could take a chance. Mine did give my butterfly fish a few nips when they noticed it but have since left it completely alone. As I said they can be a bit boisterous, and fast during feeding so it will come down to tank size.
The unusual YELLOW TAILED CONGO TETRA!

I hate to bump an old thread, but I was thinking about getting a group of these. So, ideally there should be one female per male I take it right?
How do these guys do with plants? And how big DO they get exactly? I was thinking about just getting congo tetras but someone mentioned that they have these to me and I'm considering checking them out.
I'm doing a high tech 75 gallon, and the fish I have so far for the tank are two rainbow cichlids, 6 pearl gourami's, 5 australian rainbows (I want a few more perhaps), an albino sen bichir, a retropinis bichir, and a rope....might get more ropes in the future, some sort of bristlenose pleco or whiptail cat or farwolla (however you spell it), a nice beefy pair of angels....think that the tetras could handle this sort of tank? My only concern is that if they stay small that they won't get big enough to be with the bichirs....I know regular congo's do get sizeable though.
