Scientific Name:

Hyphessobrycon Rosaceus

Description:

The Rosy tetra, like other tetra species is a shoaling fish and so do best in groupings of at least 6 or more for them to feel most at home in your aquarium. When kept in a large school you are more likely to see some impressive fin displays from competing males in the tank as well as being able to watch the beauty of the fish as they swim around as one big group.

Origin:

Originally comes from the South American countries of Guyana, Suriname and Brazil.
