All about the Rosy Fin Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus)

The Rosy Fin Tetra, also known as the Rosy Tetra, is an elegant and peaceful species. With its silver body tinged with pink and its fins often bordered with black or red, it is prized in community aquariums. Here's how to care for them.

Food

Rosy Fin Tetras are omnivores and not very demanding:

• Live and frozen foods: Brine shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae.
• Dry foods: Flakes and granules adapted to their size.
• Supplements: Occasionally offer vegetables like small pieces of blanched spinach.

Behavior

• Social: These are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 to 8 individuals, ideally 10 or more.
• Compatibility: They cohabit well with calm fish such as Rasboras, Corydoras, or other Tetra species. Avoid aggressive or overly large tank mates.
• Activity: They are active swimmers that primarily occupy the middle areas of the tank, bringing beautiful visual dynamics.

Important points

Rosy Fin Tetras are robust and good for well-maintained community aquariums. Maintain optimal water quality with regular changes (20-30% per week). Their natural beauty is enhanced in a well-planted and moderately lit tank.

The Rosy Fin Tetra is an elegant and peaceful choice, ideal for any aquarist! 🌿🐠
