The Orange Yellow Kerri Tetras arrived healthy and active. Their color is stunning, especially under soft lighting. They form a tight school and are very peaceful. I’ve kept them with neon tetras and they coexist well.

After a few weeks, the fish have developed richer orange tones. They’re easy to care for and don’t stress other tank inhabitants. Great addition to a planted tank with moss and java fern.
Ryan Dickens –
The fish look beautiful and are active in the tank. I noticed they prefer the middle and back areas. They don’t require much maintenance, and the color stays vibrant even after a month.
