Serpae Tetra ML

Bring a bold and energetic presence to your aquarium with the Serpae Tetra ML. This medium-large tetra is a true standout, named for its stunning, deep reddish-orange or maroon body. Its most defining features are a small, striking black spot behind the gills and a black-tipped dorsal fin that add a touch of sophisticated contrast. Its sleek, dynamic shape makes it a lively and eye-catching addition to any community tank.

The Serpae Tetra is a highly social and active fish. They thrive in schools of six or more, where their vibrant coloration and synchronized movements create a captivating visual display. While generally peaceful, they are known to be "fin-nippers" and can be a bit boisterous, especially towards other long-finned or slow-moving fish. Keeping them in a large group helps to mitigate this behavior by allowing them to establish a pecking order amongst themselves.

Diet

For their diet, Serpae Tetras are not picky eaters and will readily accept a varied diet. Feed them a mix of high-quality flake food and micro-pellets as a staple. To maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health, supplement their diet with small frozen or live foods like daphnia, bloodworms, or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will ensure these beautiful fish remain healthy and active.
