Black Tetra Question

[nuchumYussel]

Hi, I have a 20 gallon tank. In that tank I have 4 Black Tetra. I am
new to this hobby and am wondering if anyone would be so kind as to
tell me what other fish would be compatible with them. I would love to
get a Loach in there but I dont know if it would be compatible.

Black Tetras are an excellent fish for a community
tank as they can adapt to a wide range of tank
conditions. The only reservation that I have is that
they can get nippy with long finned fish.
A trio of Dwarf Loach (Botia sidthimunki) would
go well if you can get them. Failing that perhaps
a Coolie Loach (Pangio kuhlii) might suit. Most other
loaches get too big for a 20 gal tank.
Other tankmates you might consider include Kribs
(Pelvicachromis pulcher), Dwarf Acaras (Nannacara anomala),
Corydoras catfish (Corydoras paleatus) and Golden
Barbs (Barbus schuberti).
Welcome to the fishkeeping obsession.
I mean hobby.

I keep Blacks with Serpa Tetras and Neon's in a 30 long with no problems
what so ever.

Oh yea, some Cory's in there too. And I assume my bristle nose is in there?
Have not seen him in a long time come to think of it.
