Rummynose Tetras are celebrated for their bright red facial coloration, silver bodies, black-and-white tails, and exceptionally coordinated schooling behavior. A large group moving together creates one of the most impressive displays possible in a peaceful community aquarium.

Their red coloration may temporarily fade during shipping, acclimation, or stress and normally strengthens after they settle into stable conditions.

Recommended foods:

  • Fine flakes
  • Small tropical granules
  • Nano pellets
  • Baby brine shrimp
  • Daphnia
  • Finely chopped frozen foods
Tank Parameters & Tankmates

They perform best in mature, stable aquariums with clean water, gentle-to-moderate flow, plants, and open swimming space.

  • Suggested pH: Approximately 5.5–7.5
  • Soft-to-moderately hard water preferred
  • Careful acclimation is essential
  • Avoid sudden temperature, pH, or nitrate changes
