Description

Native to the Araguaia River basin in Brazil. This nano species displays a unique bright red-orange hue. Best kept in larger groups, they are less shy than other nano fish and less likely to dash away when you approach their tank. Water parameters: These wee folk require a pH 6.6 to 7.4 and temperatures of 23-27 °C. Special requirements: Best kept in groups of 10+ to promote natural behaviour and to fully appreciate their natural colours.

Highly used in aquascaping tanks due to their colour contrasting so well with the plants around them. Diet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed them EBO Pro soft Artemia and live foods – brine shrimp and daphnia. Tank mates: Can be housed with other peaceful community fish.

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.
