Beautiful Rosy coloration, hardy and dependable! Just an excellent all- round beginner fish for an active, community Nano aquarium.
This species (Hyphessobrycon amandae) is originally from South America. Their natural habitat is somewhat acidic, being full of tannins and dark leaf litter with lots of vegetation and floating plants. Mimic these slow moving, murky rivers with lots of leaf litter, driftwood, seed pods, and alder cones!
These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will grow to a maximum of 1 inch. Tiny little jewels!
They are a little shy, but absolutely love live food such as brine shrimp, Artemia, and other micro fauna. While omnivorous, be sure to feed them a higher protein diet with a bit of vegetable flake here and there.
Your Tetras will be young, without full adult coloration, and between 3/4" to 1" long.
Like many fish, Males will be more deeply colored than females. The ladies will be paler, and rounder :)
Care Parameters:
- Peaceful community fish
- Growth to a maximum of 1"
- 3-5 year life span
Water Parameters:
- PH: 5.0- 7.0 (slightly more acidic water preferred)
- Temperature: 68- 82 Degrees

I ship insulated with medicated water, and Purigen, by tracked and insured USPS Priority only, and use cool packs when needed.
Do consider purchasing a heat pack if the temperatures in your area are below 40 degrees!
Please arrange to pull these little guys right indoors once they arrive to your mailbox. USPS also has a free mail hold service on their website. Please utilize this service if no one can be home.
