As you already pointed out, there IS a section for Characins already, and you can discuss tetras and pencilfish there. There really is no need to have two separate areas for characins, and havin' two characin related forums would end up bein' more hassle than it's worth. End discussion would end up bein' just where certain posts belong.
Anyways, I gave ya my big NO vote!
