The Glass Bloodfin Tetra is an excellent beginner fish due to its adaptability, peaceful temperament and surprisingly long lifespan. They are a shoaling species that should be maintained in a group of 6 or more individuals and will grow to a surprisingly large size when given the right environment. As an active species, they are often chosen for planted aquascapes as their colourings and unique appearance will compliment the surroundings without being a distraction.

The Aquarium can be of any size from 60L upwards an decorated to any taste. The addition of rocks and bogwood will offer hiding places and enrichment for the fish. Plants will also be a welcome addition.

These fish can be kept with a multitude of other species of community fish. We recommend other South American species like Angelfish, Apistogrammas, Other Tetras, Cories and Plecos as they will likely enjoy the same sort of water parameters as the Glass Bloodfins. Avoid any particularly aggressive fish as the tetra may be eaten by them.

Food can be offered in the form of flakes, micro pellets and fresh or frozen fish foods like brine shrimp, bloodworm and daphnia.

All Livestock must be ordered with Livestock Shipping as the dedicated licensed courier is substantially more expensive than a standard delivery service. If the option doesn't appear to be available you can add it to your order by clicking here and then selecting collection at checkout.
