==Tetras==
</includeonly>
When compared with larger [[characins]], such as the [[Pacu]], the diminutive size of the smaller tetras illustrates the great range within the family Characidae. Temperaments, likewise, vary in the extreme, from the tranquility of the [[Neon Tetra]] to the ferocity of the [[Piranha]]. Native to South America and Africa, all characins make decorative additions to the aquarium - there are about 1,200 species in the wild. They have teeth in their jaws, unlike [[cyprinids]]. Many carry an additional small adipose fin behind the dorsal fin, although this is not an exclusive feature of characins (some other genera have it too, e.g., ''[[Corydora]]s'' [[catfishes|catfish]]). Many smaller tetras are readily bred in soft waters, but very often the eggs are light sensitive.<noinclude>
