Serpae Tetra

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.
