Learth Hoch - 2010-10-26 I have had my pristella tetras, Sushi, Sashimi, and Sailboat, for almost 3 weeks now. They are my first fish, and they are very hardy, very tolerant fish! They are active swimmers, and oh so very cute. :D I'm thinking about getting 2 or 3 more to swim with them in my 15 gallon, since they are schooling fish. And another thing--these little buggers are FAST! When I try to catch them when I clean the aquarium, they dart away surprisingly quickly. I call them, 'The Secret Society' hahaha. I love my pristellas. :D

Charlie Roche - 2011-04-25 I am sorry that the one died. You must be doing a good job though or the others might have gotten ill also. Good luck with them.

Hey, how's everyone doing! I'm doing friggen splendid now that i know that i was right... whoot, whoot, whoot!
Brenda - 2007-10-23 I absolutely love and adore my pristella tetras. I got them with two black mollies to cycle my tank. I couldn't be happier that I didn't over look them! I had bought just the three pristellas and the two black molllies and upon returning home and making sure I met there needs, I darted back out to the lfs for extra supplies. When I got there I noticed a single pristella tetra in with some other tetras and I just didn't have the heart to leave him there solo. I brought him home with me and put him in the tank. It didn't take long for him to become a part of the school. My tetras accepted him easily and they are all doing just fine! Great story, great little tetras, love the dorsal fin, I think it is unique. It sticks straight up and has colorbands of yellow, black and white. The tail fin on the male has become very red, not so much with the female. But I don't think she is too worried about that since she has other things on her mind, like delivering her babies! Cheers, Brenda
A perky little fish, the X-Ray Fish is social, friendly, and very easy to care for!
I just got 3 of these fish today, and I call them little taxi's.
Why did you call them fish taxis, but anyways I bought ten of them.
