Description

Introduction: The Columbian Red Fin Tetra, scientifically known as Hyphessobrycon columbianus, is a vibrant and captivating freshwater fish that adds color and energy to any aquarium.

Water Quality: Maintain a water temperature of 72°F to 78°F (23°C to 25°C), pH level between 6.0 to 7.5, and GH level of 4 to 12 dGH to ensure a healthy environment for these active and social tetras.

Feeding: They are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet of high-quality flake food, pellets, frozen or live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp to keep them in optimal condition.

Tank Mates: Columbian Red Fin Tetras are peaceful and sociable, making them compatible with other peaceful community fish like rasboras, corydoras, and other small tetras.

Substrates and Tank Decorations: Provide a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots using driftwood, rocks, and live plants to mimic their natural habitat and create a stress-free environment.

Breeding: Breeding Columbian Red Fin Tetras can be achieved with proper conditioning and soft, slightly acidic water. They are egg scatterers, and the parents do not tend to their young, so it’s essential to provide separate breeding tanks.

Maximum Size and Longevity: These tetras can grow up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length and have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years with proper care and a suitable environment.

General Information: The Columbian Red Fin Tetra is known for its striking red fins and peaceful demeanor, making it a popular choice among hobbyists looking to add color and activity to their aquariums.

A Fun Fact: In the wild, these tetras inhabit slow-moving rivers and streams, thriving in schools among dense vegetation, where they can find shelter and food.
