Elmer's Aquarium Community Tank Suggestion Type 2

Moons/Medium Tetras: A community of peaceful, active fish

This popular community contains active, hardy fish and peaceful fish that should do well together.
Many of these fish look good in groups of 3 or more. This popular community group gives you some of the most colorful and diverse fish to pick from.

Housing: This community tank is suitable for tanks 10 gallon or more with standard filtration and heating. (For filtration we recommend an undergravel filter and an outside power filter. You can use live or plastic plants. Temperature 76-80.

Live plants will add to the decor of the tank, and also provide a hiding area toward the back of the tank. If you prefer not to use live plants provide some rocks and plastic plants to the rear with some open swimming room in the front.

Feeding: Feed 2-3 times a day with standard foods such as flake foods and brine shrimp. Good supplements include Tetra Bits, frozen bloodworms, live brine shrimp, vegetable based flake food, and algae tablets for your catfish.
