Fish L Tetra Rummynose 3.5cm

The Rummynose Tetra is a striking and graceful schooling fish that adds colour, movement, and personality to any tropical community aquarium. Known for its brilliant red “rummy” nose and black-and-white striped tail, this elegant tetra creates a stunning visual display, especially when kept in a group against a dark, planted backdrop.

Originating from the soft, warm waters of the Amazon Basin, Rummynose Tetras thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water conditions and gentle filtration. They are peaceful, social fish that should always be kept in groups of six or more to promote natural schooling behaviour and reduce stress.
