About This Species
Originating from the Congo River Basin, this larger tetra is renowned for its shimmering, iridescent scales and long, flowing fins, especially in males. They are a peaceful but active species that requires a longer tank to accommodate their swimming habits. A school of Congo Tetras is a truly breathtaking sight in a well-maintained aquarium.
