Tetra Fish: Vibrant and Peaceful Schooling Fish

Tetras are known for their striking colors and peaceful nature, making them ideal for community tanks. They belong to the Characidae family and include species like Neon Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, and Black Skirt Tetras.

Caring for Tetra Fish: Tips for a Thriving School

Tetras prefer slightly acidic to neutral water, with temperatures between 70°F and 80°F (21°C to 27°C). They thrive in groups of six or more, as they are social schooling fish. Provide a well-planted tank with hiding spots and maintain clean water with regular partial water changes. A varied diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods will keep them active and colorful. Their lively behavior and vibrant hues add dynamic movement to community aquariums.
