Columbian Redfin Tetra ML

Bring a flash of fiery elegance and energetic movement to your aquarium with the Columbian Red Fin Tetra ML. This medium-large tetra is a captivating fish with a beautiful, streamlined silver-blue body that shimmers under the light. Its most defining feature is its vibrant, blood-red fins and tail, which create a stunning contrast and give the fish its name. As it zips through the water, the red fins create a dynamic blur of color that is a joy to watch.

The Columbian Red Fin Tetra ML is a highly active and social fish. As a shoaling species, they thrive in groups of six or more, where their synchronized movements and vibrant coloration create a mesmerizing visual display. While generally peaceful with other fish, their energetic nature can sometimes lead to nipping at the fins of slower, long-finned tank mates, so it's best to keep them with other active, robust species. Their hardiness and active nature make them an excellent choice for experienced aquarists looking to add a truly unique color to their home.

Diet

For their diet, Columbian Red Fin Tetras are not picky eaters and will readily accept a varied diet. Feed them a mix of high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and small frozen or live foods like daphnia, bloodworms, or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will help maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.
