Description

This hardy, shoaling tetra hails from South America, growing up to 4cm in length. They are popular due to their vibrant pinkish-red colours.

Special requirements: Rosy teras are a schooling fish and must be kept in group of 6 to 10 to reduce stress, promote their natural colours and behaviours. Rosy tetras enjoy blackwater setups and well planted tanks and low lighting, mimicking their natural environment.

Diet: Rosy tetras are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics our rosy tetras enjoy a diet of EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Spirulina and Insect Meal as well as fresh and frozen brine shrimp, bloodworms and daphnia.

Tank size: 60 l+

Tank mates: Great community fish. Can be housed with corys, other small tetras, rasboras and larger peaceful community fish too. Their deep body shape makes them unlikely to be eaten by discus or angel fish, unlike some other tetras.

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.
