Special requirements

  • Pristine Water Quality

    Highly sensitive to deteriorating water conditions and excess nitrates. A strict maintenance routine is absolutely essential for their long-term health.

  • Open Swimming Space

    A very active, large tetra that requires plenty of unobstructed open swimming space alongside areas of thick planting.

  • Dim Lighting & Cover

    Can be prone to skittishness. Floating cover and dimmer lighting are recommended to help them feel secure.
