Minimum Tank Size for Black Skirts?
I have 3 black skirt tetras in a 10 gallon but I'm not positive that this is big enough for them? Do they need more space to swim and do they need more friends?

Re: Minimum Tank Size for Black Skirts?
Yes, you're correct in thinking they need more space. They need a 2 ft long tank at a minimum, so at least a 15 gallon but preferably a 20 gallon long which would provide much more swimming space than a 15 gallon or a 20 high would.
And yes, black skirts are schooling fish so they should be kept in groups of 6+
