I bought a group of Silvertip Tetras for my planted tank. They are very active and add a lot of visual interest. The silver tips on their fins are clearly visible and really stand out. They get along well with my other fish and don’t stress the plants.
Austin Graham –
These tetras are peaceful and lively. I’ve had them for three months now and they still swim around the middle and top layers. They don’t compete with other fish and are easy to keep in a community setup.
