Red Flame Tetra

A well planted tank with 6 or more fish is ideal, we have found this fish to be a bit nippy so best not keep with too docile fish. It is a broad feeder, If keep in lower ph water colour is more intense then at the higher end of the alkalinity scale. This can be achieved by using peat in the filter or almond leave and such like in the aquarium . The colour can also be intensive by being heavily plant with dark substrate. Males can be distinguished by his deep red anal fin.
