Golden Rummynose Tetra (Tank-Bred)
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.
The Golden Rummynose Tetra is a morph of one of the popular Rummynose Tetra. Compared to the Rummynose Tetra, this golden morph shows off a metallic sheen which makes it stand out even more in tanks with dark backgrounds or substrate. These stunning fish are relatively small and can grow to a maximum size of about 1 inch, making them perfect for a planted nano aquarium.
Like most Tetras, we recommend keeping these fish in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school. They will look especially stunning in a planted tank.
These fish are adult shrimp-safe, however, we recommend having suitable hiding places and a well-planted environment to support their natural behavior.

I added five Golden Rummynose Tetras to my 5-gallon planted tank. They look amazing with the dark gravel and live plants. The metallic sheen really stands out. They’re active but calm, and they seem to enjoy swimming in groups. Easy to care for and fit well in a small setup.

The fish arrived healthy and were already active in the tank. I kept them in a group of six with some java fern and moss. They swim together in a coordinated school and look very elegant. I didn’t notice any aggression, which is great for a small tank.

Perfect for a nano tank. The golden color and shine are striking, especially under soft lighting. They don’t require much space or maintenance. I’ve kept them for over two months and they’re still vibrant and active.
