Rummynose Tetra

The Rummynose Tetra is a highly popular schooling fish celebrated for its vibrant, deep red nose, which serves as a reliable indicator of water quality—the brighter the red, the healthier and happier the fish. Its sleek, silver body and distinctly checkered black-and-white tail make it a visually stunning addition to any planted aquarium. These are active but peaceful swimmers that thrive in groups of six or more, creating a beautiful, cohesive shoaling effect. They prefer soft, acidic water and appreciate a well-planted tank with open swimming areas.
