Description

Growing to around 4cm in length, the Pristella, or X-ray tetra can be identified by it’s semi-translucent body. A peaceful, shoaling tetra, ideal for a community tank. Special requirements: Must be kept in a group of at least 6 to 8 to promote natural behaviour and reduce shyness.

Diet: At Wirral Aquatics our pristella tetras enjoy a diet of EBO Pro Soft Artemia and frozen brine shrimp and daphnia. Tank size: 40l+ Tank mates: Other small tetras, corys, rasboras and gouramis all make great tank mates.

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.
