Product Information

The Ember Tetra is sometimes called the Fire Tetra, and it inhabits rivers in Central Brazil. They have a fiery appearance which is an attractive attribute to aquarists. Having an isolation aquarium to keep ill fish in helps slow any infection process. Remember, neon tetra disease spreads through the ingestion of dead tissue. The eggs will hatch in 24 to 36 hours. In another three to four days, the baby fry can swim freely on their own. At this point, provide fine powdered foods or infusoria. Once they’re big enough, you can move onto baby brine shrimp or infusoria. Closing Thoughts Rummy Nose Tetras are peaceful, schoaling fish that prefer swimming in a group of at least six or more. Not only do they add an appealing dash of color to your tank, but they also serve as a sort of “health gauge” as their nose coloration intensifies when they’re in a healthy environment. It can tolerate a wide range of parameters in captivity and isn’t super sensitive to fluctuations. As long as you stay within acceptable ranges, the fish will have no problem staying healthy.

Tetra fish catch their feed from water surface. Tetra fish prefer to live in the tank’s middle area, they will ignore any food lying at the bottom of the tank. So, it is better to feed them frequently with the amount they will eat in less than 3 minutes, so that they finish up the food immediately. As Tetra fish are found in warm climate, so when they are kept in an aquarium, the water temperature must be maintained between 23-26 degrees Celsius or 68-78 degrees Fahrenheit. So, you will not be able to provide a suitable aquarium without a heater and thermometerto regulate and monitor water temperature. Tetras will stay healthy in marginally acidic water. They can tolerate pH between 6-7.5, but the optimum pH for the aquarium is 6.8. It is not a good idea to keep goldfish and tetras in the same tank. Tetras are tropical freshwater fish. Whereas goldfish need much colder water than tetras. In addition to that, goldfish are a slow swimmer, and tetras are very active swimmers. Notes: Males darken and develop an extended dorsal fin as they mature. Best in planted aquariums, they may breed with no special owner care. The good news is that the species adapts well to life in captivity. It’s unfussy when it comes to water parameters.

30. Mexican Tetra

Notes: Needing no introduction, the colours of this fish say it all. Keep in large groups and keep warm to avoid outbreaks of whitespot.

Tetra fish love to eat anything live like small worms and insects, since they are toothed fish. So, their food should primarily include meat such as Spirulina flakes, initially when they are introduced in the aquarium. But after a few days when they get adjusted to this artificial environment, gradually add live food for them. Drosophila fruit flies and Daphnia Pulex are excellent foods that keep them healthy and happy. Shredded and finely cut white worms and brine fish are also good for feeding them. Tetra Color BitsNotes: We don’t see enough of these. A pretty, well behaved tetra and a group would make a great alternative to Glowlights or Neons. While tetras are typically peaceful by nature, there are some exceptions. The Columbian Tetra can exhibit slightly aggressive behavior. They’re slightly bigger than most tetra species. To truly thrive, water conditions must be pristine. In a well-kept tank, the coloration of this fish will become more vibrant. That said, you don’t have to worry about salinity in a closed freshwater tank. During the rainy season, these fish move inland to waters with virtually no salinity. They migrate to flooded savannahs, which are filled with dissolved minerals, decaying plants, and more.
