Serpae Tetra

The Serpae Tetra is a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. With its red body and black fin markings, the Serpae Tetra stands out among plants and decor. As schooling fish, Serpae Tetras thrive in groups of six or more, allowing them to interact and show natural behaviors. In groups, their active nature is especially noticeable.  

Serpae Tetras are hardy and easy to care for, making them a good option for aquarists of all levels. They do well in tanks with plants, moderate lighting, and gentle water flow. To keep them healthy and vibrant, feed them a mix of flakes, small pellets, and occasional treats like brine shrimp. These active fish bring energy and color to any aquarium.
