Hello

I'd appreciate if someone could tell me a couple of things about golden
pristella tetras. Mainly I'd like to know whether it will school with
ordinary pristellas.

Both colours will form shoals. They will also group up with similar sized
and shaped tetras. HTH.

Yes, though I have them in a small tank (20g), so ymmv. I think it's the
same effect with Tiger barbs. They school together, regardless if they
are natural, albino, green or black. Colour cues take a back seat to the
other signals ('sonar' signature, interaction etc). I even have SAEs
which swim with Penquin tetras, so ymmv.
