Rummynose Tetra! Right Fish For You? 

This is by far my favorite tetra. I've ordered in bulk from online sources and had 75% die off. I just ordered 17 platinums from you and only lost one. I was surprised to find 17 little individually bagged fish, definitely worth the extra price.

Not enough green on Dan's head and face. I hardly recognize him looking all human like this. I loved my rummy nose tetras when I had them. They were great to watch zooming back and forth in the 90.

About 5 pm each night, my rummynose tetras start schooling tightly & fast, back and forth, at the front of the tank, with their heads tilted up at the exact same ~30 degree angle against my filter current for about half an hour. A sight to behold. ❤❤❤

Love the species rating format, would love to see more of them! Rummynoses are a fish I only started keeping in the last year, and they really impressed me with their behavior and overall presentation in the aquarium.

The best schooling fish!

Really liking this format, but when they are a schooling a suggested number of fish and size would be helpful. Also more views of the fish while you are talking Dan! 😅

Rummy nose are so beautiful in their big tight schools!! If I ever do a big tank, they're my #1!

I like the lesson hit the like button guys 🎉

I really like this type of spotlight dan plz do more like this! Like #87 but i really liked it a million🙂👍🏻

I’ve just started my fist tank and I got 12 rummy nose as my first fish and so far so good just test the water daily for the first few weeks they look amazing against a dark substrate and background

Love this style of video! Do all the species profiles so I can just send people your way who want them!

I have a large school of these 27 at best guess. I have had them for 5 years. I have lost 3 that I know of but they are still doing good. I love these fish.

Omg! I just discovered this fish today and I am obsessed 😍 sooo pretty

Thank you for the informative video Dan. I always avoided getting these because I heard they were so hard to keep. Maybe I will give them a try.

✨Hope you reach 30k ASAP! wishing you ALL the Best! ✨

Think you may of just tempted me with some for my 100 gal 6ft planted........thanks Dan

6.5 ph and lower to sequester ammonia;)❤

Buy them from a good pet shop or online dealer. Mine our 2 to 5 years old. I buy a few every so often and that way they adopt very quickly with my older group of rummies. I do small water changes weekly.

They are also very sensitive to water temperature…learned that the expensive way

Very tempting! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are good. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching.

I’m hoping to keep these fish someday, they’re fascinating.

I started fish keeping about 5 months ago, I have (I'm told) had a better than average beginner experience than a lot of people. Initially I had a Beta which I transitioned into a larger tank. Within a couple weeks I added raspora and neon tetras, finally a school of rummy nose. All was well until for some reason the beta died. I waited and watched my tanks before replacing it 2 weeks later. This time around I noticed almost immediately the rummy nose were territorial, fin nipping and aggressive to the new beta. So bad was it I had to get a fry net to keep separate whilst I cycled an additional tank for separation. In the time the beta was in the fry net the rummy nose would constantly attack the net like a shark cage. Every thing is now tranquil again with the beta out of the aquarium, but from this I would really be hesitant to add fish to an existing tank where the rummy nose have already established territory. Beyond that they are a stunning fish which I thoroughly enjoy.

I find mine to be a good cleanup crew. It's a species only tank so far, but at least when undisturbed they swim about the substrate and pick up any leftovers. I'm a bit bummed out about them blending in with my light substrate (my own fault, but there will be a carpet anyways). But the coordinated swimming is great. They really give something to look at all the time. I do find that a varied diet is best though, after giving some peas to help with a bladder issue they really coloured up and got even more energy.

How do they compare to having TIGER BARBS ?

Great video format Dan. I'm puzzled as to why your channel only has 25k subs 😮

Have a school of 25 in my 4 foot 120 gal with some black neons and apisto's/angelfish. Excellent tetra!

Just finished watching this vid, first I've seen for your channel, and I like what I see! Very helpful information, stuff I agree with based on what I've heard about them, and even got learn a bit of new information too, and I just love the rating system! Can't wait to see more vids from you guys

I love my rummynose tetras! They are quite hardy! I have about 30 of them.

My Tap water is 5.5pH and 0/0 GH & KH I have great luck with them. I do put crushed coral in my tanks, cause the PH is so low. Thanks Dan!

such a fabulous video, Dan and co.! I hope you make more of this style of video!

Negative space? Open space surely!

Awesome Dan& crew. Love this type of videos 🤙🏽

Hope to buy the platinum want like 15 and the 15 bloodfin glass tetra

Nice.

I HEARD YOU ARE FROM ALASKA IS THAT TRUE!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN ANCHORAGE, THATS SO WILD TO ME THAT IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR A WHILE AND NEVER KNEW

How much for a hundred of them on a bulk order?

Not sure how most fish peeps are when they hit new fish. I have a 10 gallon quarantine tank I hold fish in before putting them into my display tank's. How many would be safe? I have a 40 gallon breeder so even if I have to buy 2 separate batches and quarantine each..I'm willing to do that.

So when you getting the platinum rummy nose in and how much they usually go for in pack of 10 or 20

Pff... now i'm hesitating between cardinal tetra's and rummynose's again 😅

It is an incredible, beautiful and shoaling fish. But I regret getting it because my aquarium doesn't have a lid. I started with 15 fish 3 months ago, today only 6 rummynose. OMG. That's it, buy a lid. I have other tetras, black phantom, serpae, red phantom and they don't jump as much as rummynose
