Introduction: Introducing the Flame Tetra, a fiery beauty that will bring a burst of color and vitality to your freshwater aquarium. With its vibrant hues and lively personality, the Flame Tetra is a true standout in any aquatic setup.
Scientific Name: The Flame Tetra goes by the scientific name Hyphessobrycon flammeus and is a member of the Characidae family.
Water Quality: Maintain a comfortable habitat for your Flame Tetras with a temperature range of 72°F to 82°F and a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. Ensure moderately soft to slightly hard water with a general hardness (GH) of 4-10 dGH and a carbonate hardness (KH) of 4-8 dKH.
Feeding: Keep your Flame Tetras in top condition with a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or daphnia.
Tank Mates: Flame Tetras are peaceful and sociable fish, making them great companions for other small, non-aggressive community fish.
Substrates and Tank Decorations: Provide a well-planted aquarium with hiding spots using driftwood, rocks, and smooth pebbles to mimic their natural habitat.
Suitable Plants: Opt for plants like Java moss, Anubias, and Amazon Sword plants to create a lush and comfortable environment for your Flame Tetras.
Sexing: Males are typically more colorful and slender, while females have a rounder belly and show less intense coloration.
Breeding: Witness the fascinating breeding behavior of Flame Tetras, who are egg scatterers. Provide fine-leaved plants for the eggs to attach and protect them from the adults.
Maximum Size and Longevity: Flame Tetras usually grow to around 1.5 inches (4 cm) and can live for 3 to 5 years under proper care.
General Information: These eye-catching fish boast a vivid red body with a black dorsal fin, creating a striking contrast that makes them truly captivating.
A Fun Fact: In their natural habitat, Flame Tetras can be found in slow-moving rivers and streams, often among dense vegetation, adding to their allure and charm.
