Whitefin

The **Whitefin Tetra (Hyphessobrycon bentosi ‘White Fin’) **is a graceful, eye?catching schooling fish known for its soft peach?pink body and striking milky?white fin edges. Their flowing fins and calm, gliding movement make them a standout choice for planted aquariums, adding elegance without overwhelming the tank.

Hardy, peaceful, and full of subtle colour, Whitefin Tetras thrive in groups and look their best against darker substrates and lush greenery. Their fins glow beautifully under soft lighting, making them a favourite for aquascapers and community?tank keepers who want something a little more refined than the usual tetra choices.
