Hi, I used a 105 Micro Nikkor VR Lens. I just aquired it and i'm still
getting to grips with it, but it is an amazing peice of glass.

Thanks again, The Buenos Aires and the congo tetras are the only tetras
I keep at the moment, both are hardy and easy to keep and do best when
kept with their own type and love to shoal. The congos max out at around 10cms the Buenos Aires about half that, but both need lots of room to swim.
I keep mine in a 100g community tank.
I hope that helps.

A small shoal of congos should be fine in a 50g, The botias were very illusive for 3 weeks or so but they have become more confident now and are out and
about a lot more,
