Scientific Name:

Hasemania Nana

The Silvertip tetra, like other tetra species is a schooling fish and so do best in groupings of at least 6 or more for them to feel most at home in your aquarium and to minimise the possibility of them becoming nippy towards other species. They quite often will operate in a pecking order and so the larger the group, the more successful the community tank.

Origin:

Originally comes from the Sao Francisco Basin in Brazil.

Compatibility:

Silvertip Tetra are a small, peaceful, community fish that do best with other species of tetra, various dwarf South American Cichlids like Apistogramma and Ramirezi, catfish, Corydoras, smaller barbs, livebearers, danios and rasboras. Not always a good tankmate with larger species like Angelfish due to their more streamline body shape.

Feeding:

• Small Tropical Pellets
• Tropical Flakes
• Frozen Foods

Habitat:

Enjoys a tank with a wealth of plants and/or driftwood/rock creations for it to swim through and around. Can be kept in a more sparsely scaped tank though the colours and attitude flourish best when it has an environment that it can interact highly with as well as with a varied diet.
