The Nego Dagua Tetra is a small, rare, new species of fish in the hobby that looks stunning in a well-planted aquarium. In addition, these Tetras have a peaceful disposition and are relatively easy to maintain.

The Nego Dagua Tetra is a shaling species in nature; therefore, you should keep them in groups of at least eight individuals, preferably more. Ideal tankmates for these Tetras would consist of other small peaceful fish such as micro rasboras, other small tetras, dwarf barbs. However, it would be better to avoid larger, more boisterous fish due to their small size.
