How many Buenos Aires tetras are appropriate for a 65-gallon aquarium.?

This tank is 36" long, 18" deep, and 24" tall. Filtration is an Aqua-Clear 70/300 power filter. Ph is about 7.5. It will be a species tank. I am cycling right now and preparing to transfer 4 Buenos Aires tetras from their current 20-gallon.

    I definitely say like 20 for a 65 gallon, they say an inch of fish per gallon, so that would be a safe amount. Gosh that'll be pretty. I have 2 buenos aires and I love them, they are among a lot of other tetras and angel fish, neons and danios.

    I'd say 20-25. They will grow to 3" given adequate space and enjoy generous swimming room, so no more than that.
