Colombian Tetra (Hyphessobrycon columbianus)

The Colombian Tetra captivates with its silvery body with metallic blue reflections and bright red fins. Lively and resilient, it is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a colorful and dynamic fish. Ideal for medium to large community tanks.

Tips:
Keep in groups of 6 to 10 individuals to minimize tension and encourage schooling behavior. Favor a well-planted tank with ample free swimming space. Avoid mixing with very calm or slow species, as it can be a bit boisterous.
