Silvertip 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.
Silvertip Tetras are one of the more popular nano fish due to their unique coloration and schooling behavior. They have a metallic sheen on their bodies with silver tips on their fins that stands out in any aquarium.
Like most Tetras, we recommend keeping these guys in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school. They will look especially stunning in a planted tank.
Silvertip Tetras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters. The following are our water parameters we keep them at:

| PH | 6.0-7.0 |

Received my Silvertip Tetras in great condition. They were shipped via UPS Next Day Air and arrived quickly. The fish are active and show off their silver fin tips well in my planted tank. I kept them in a group of six and they swim together beautifully.

The coloration is vibrant and the fish are very peaceful. I added them to a 10-gallon tank with live plants and they adapted well. I keep them in a group of five and they seem happy and active.

These tetras are a standout in my aquarium. The metallic sheen on their bodies is striking, especially when the light hits the fins. I’ve had them for two months now and they’re still active and healthy.
