Curious...in the first place how u count them to ensure all add up? it must be a challenge to tally

[wilsonawt]

LOL....i brought it from Lester at Jln Halus. he counted it...ha ha. but whe i got it, it is smaller than expected...will post a pic tomorrow when i head into office.

btw do i need to change water often for tetra tanks?

I not in tetra but know they are not hardy fish.....
My rule of the thumb is wc once a week for my tank becos feed fish often.
as for your case tetra eat little and depend on your size of the tank...

Feed the tetras with those micro-pellets available from fish shops. Tetras grow very fast one, so don't worry. If there's no big fish that can eat them, they will survive.
