African Red Eye Tetra

The African Red Eye Tetra is a striking, fast?moving schooling fish known for its shimmering silver body and bold, ruby?red eyes. Elegant and energetic, they bring constant movement and a touch of drama to medium and large community aquariums. Their reflective scales catch the light beautifully, making them a standout choice for planted or open?water setups.
Hardy, peaceful, and highly social, African Red Eye Tetras thrive in groups and display their best behaviour when given plenty of swimming space. Each fish is carefully selected for health, colour, and condition, then packed with care and shipped quickly across the UK with expert guidance included.
