Platies are quite peaceful yet deal for a tank with other fish that will not eat them. Platies as tank mates for Colombian tetra in a community tank might sound absurd. Well, this is a risk you need to willingly take. So, keep in mind both things while setting up a community tank housing both Colombian tetra and Mollies as tank mates. Remember they don’t like over-crowed tanks but they need their own circle.

So, full points for the defense mechanism of these mollies, and congratulations on making it to the list of tank mates through that very nature. They will weirdly act aggressively towards other fish present in the tank if these fish start to annoy or bully them. You see mollies are passive-natured hence they will act similar to Colombian tetra when the time is right.Īlthough these mollies will stay calm and peaceful when they are within their own circle, their temperament changes as soon as they enter the community tank. Molliesĭon’t be surprised to see a name such as mollies in the list of tank mates for Colombian tetra. They won’t die when kept alone but these catfish will feel lonely sitting by themselves in the bottom of the tank. Likewise, of course, the number of Corydoras you need to keep in the tank: Keep at least 2 to 4 of them. Hence sinking pellets will be a good idea as they will go directly to Corydoras catfish. You see Colombian tetra will eat any food before it can reach Corydoras. Also, please feed these Catfish sinking pellets, or else they will die off hunger. Colombian tetra will not even bother them because these tetras barely reach down to the bottom of the tank.Īnd Corydoras will politely stay in the bottom of the tank without coming in the way of Colombian tetra.
You can guess why I am suggesting you keep Corydoras with Colombian tetra in the tank. Here, how can we leave behind a bottom dweller like Corydoras when we are talking about tank mates for active fish like Colombian Tetra? When one of the fish finds the other one alone, there is a high possibility of aquarium war. They will not disturb each other as long as they are not alone. If you have ever kept them or research them, you will know that.īut they will stay away from Colombian tetras and you don’t have to worry about their aggression or fin-nipping nature if you give them their family in the tank. And these fish can turn into fin nippers. Silver tips are shoaling tetras and ask for their type in the tank. Similarly, their temperament serves well when it comes to the compatibility with another tetra like Colombian.īoth of these tetras will, like other tetras, need a school of each and needs to have at least 6 members in that school. These silver tip tetras will have a silvery glow in their body similar to the Colombian tetra.
