The Serpae Tetra is a small tropical fish with a deep, intense red color, adorned with a distinctive black spot near its operculum. Its flamboyant appearance immediately catches the eye in a planted aquarium. Sociable but sometimes a little mischievous, it thrives in groups, where its behavior becomes more balanced and less aggressive towards other species.
