Tetras form in a cell when there are four homologous chromosomes present during the prophase I stage of meiosis. This grouping allows for the process of synapsis, where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over. The formation of tetras is crucial for genetic diversity in gametes.
Tetras are freshwater fish.
Yes they do.
Yes
No, neon tetras have very short tails.
No, tetras of the same type tend to school together, although some tetras are know to be a bit more aggressive than others.
Yes, catfish can generally live with tetras, but compatibility depends on the specific species of catfish and tetras. Smaller tetras, like Neon Tetras, can coexist with peaceful, smaller catfish species such as Corydoras. However, larger or more aggressive catfish might pose a threat to tetras. Always ensure that the tank is appropriately sized and that all species have adequate space and hiding spots.
Glow tetras would do well on tropical flake food.
Aaahhh! Male cardinal tetras Ooohhh! Who asked this?
Neon Tetras do very well in soft and slightly acidic water. If there are a couple of Neon Tetras left, it may be best to quarantine them in a separate tank.
Yes, different types of tetras typically school together in aquariums. Tetras are social fish that feel more comfortable and secure when they are in a group, so they will often school with other tetras of different species.
No, tetras should not eat betta food as it may not provide them with the necessary nutrients they need for their health. It is best to feed tetras a diet specifically formulated for them.
Neon tetras typically grow to be about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
