The Serpae Tetra adds vibrant movement to my tank. I kept them in a group of six with compatible species. They swim together nicely and stay active throughout the day. Water parameters were stable, and they adapted well after a week.

Great coloration and active schooling behavior. I paired them with other peaceful community fish. They seem to thrive in a well-maintained 20-gallon tank with good water flow.

The fish are lively, but I noticed some minor fin-nipping when the group was small. I increased the group to eight and the behavior improved significantly.

I’ve had these for three months now. They are easy to care for and look stunning in a planted community tank. The color pattern is very distinct and eye-catching.
