Flame Tetra

Flame Tetra

The Flame Tetra is a vibrant and hardy freshwater fish, prized for its striking red and orange colouring that adds a brilliant splash of colour to any community aquarium. Their active schooling behaviour and peaceful temperament make them a fantastic choice for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers.

Flame Tetras are happiest when kept in groups of at least 6, where they will display their natural schooling behaviour and enhanced colours. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with open swimming areas and appreciate stable water conditions.

These omnivorous fish are easy to feed and enjoy a varied diet of quality flakes, micro pellets, frozen foods, and live foods. A balanced diet will help maintain their vivid colours and overall health.
