The Rosy Tetras are vibrant and active, adding a lively touch to my community tank. I kept them in a group of six and they swim together naturally. Water parameters were stable and feeding was simple with flakes and frozen foods.

Great fish for a beginner. They are colorful and peaceful. I noticed they prefer to stay in the middle of the tank, so I adjusted the plant placement to give them space to move.

I’ve had these for three months and they’ve stayed healthy and active. The schooling behavior is impressive and they don’t seem to fight with other fish in the tank.
