Description

Muzel Red Cherry tetras are native to the Mato Grosso and Rio Negro regions in Brazil. Growing up to 4cm in length, Muzel Red Cherry tetras are adored by aquascapers for their vibrant cherry red colouration. Muzel Red Cherry tetras are a tight schooling fish and must be kept in group of at least six. Smaller numbers leads to extreme stress which may be noted by poor colouration.

For best colouration, house your Muzel Red Cherry tetras in an aquarium with dark substrate, lots of live plants and subdued lighting. Muzel Red Cherry tetras are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics our Muzel Red Cherry tetras enjoy a diet of EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Spirulina and Insect Meal as well as live and frozen brine shrimp, cyclops and daphnia.

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.
