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.
