Red Eye Tetra are one of the larger species of Tetra available for community set ups. They are a shoaling species that should be maintained in a group of 6 or more specimens in a spacious and well planted aquarium. The substrate and background should be dark to help show off these fish. These fish can be kept with a variety of other species, including larger Cichlids, such as Severums, Acaras, Geophagus and Nicaraguans as well as most community fish. Long finned and timid species should be avoided as these fish are known for being a little nippy, though this becomes less common in larger shoals of Red Eyes.
Food should be offered in the form of pellets, as well as fresh or frozen fish foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp and bloodworm.
