Description

A hardy, super-active schooling fish that thrive in community tanks. They grow up to 8cm in length, making them one of the larger tetras in the world of tropical fish.

Water parameters:

Special requirements: These guys love plants and will eat most, however anubias and java fern are generally considered safe due to their bitter taste. Best kept in groups of six or more to minimise aggression

Diet: Buenos Aires tetras are omnivores. In store we feed them a range of EBO Pro Soft foods, frozen and live foods.

Tank size: 120 litres +

Tank mates: Good tank mates include other larger tetras, rasboras, barbs and gouramis. Avoid slow moving fish or those with long, flowing fin as they can nip them.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
