These tetras are active and colorful. I’ve kept them in a 30-gallon tank with other peaceful community fish. They enjoy the plant-based diet and are easy to feed. Good size for a community tank.
Adrian Martin –
The fish are lively and stay healthy for over five years. I provide a mix of flake and frozen foods. They don’t eat much of the live plants, but they do graze occasionally.

Great addition to my aquarium. The albino coloration stands out. They adapt well to the temperature range and thrive in a well-maintained tank with stable pH.
