General Information: Tetra comes from the clear waters of South America.

These are mid-level swimming fish, so taller plants should be used. They require a steady slightly acidic pH and constant temperature. Diet Requirements: Tetra will accept many small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and a high quality flake food. Compatibility:Peaceful Recommendations: Ideal tank mates include: Tetras, Dwarf Gouramis, Danios, Rasboras, Rainbowfish, Discus, Angelfish, Guppies, Platies, Mollies, Swordtails, Plecos and small Scavenger Catfish.
