Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Silver Tip Tetra is a lively and attractive fish with a coppery-orange body and bright white tips on its fins. They are very active and should be kept in schools to encourage their natural behavior and reduce any minor fin-nipping tendencies. Their constant activity brings a great deal of energy to the mid-levels of an aquarium.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Silver Tip Tetra healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Silver Tip Tetra's adult size and activity level. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–8 and 22–28°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful. Keep it in a group for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Silver Tip Tetra depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
