The Golden Silver Tip Tetras are vibrant and active. I kept them in a 5-gallon tank with plants and they swim beautifully. They don’t stress easily and stay healthy even in a small setup. The silver tips on their fins really stand out under soft lighting.
Andrew North –
I bought them for my first planted tank. They are very peaceful and form a lively school. I noticed their colors shine best in moderate lighting. They grow slowly and stay under 5 cm, which fits well in my aquarium.
Alan Davies –
They look stunning and are active throughout the day. I kept them in a group of six and they seem to bond well. The only thing is they prefer a slightly warmer temperature, so I adjusted my heater.

Easy to care for and very attractive. I’ve had them for three months and they haven’t shown any signs of disease. The golden body and silver-tipped fins are a real highlight in my tank.
