General:  Very active and colorful.  Looks best in groups of 6 or more.  Keep them in communities with other tetras and peaceful fish..  They grow larger than most tetras.  Adults are true "show" fish.  Mature males are more colorful and have longer anal fins than females.

Feeding:  Feed at least twice a day.  They will accept a variety of foods.  Feed flakes, along with brine shrimp, bloodworms or frozen foods.  A tetra will show its best color after you have owned it for a few months and have given it a high quality diet.

Compatibility:  Fish that go well with Congo tetras:  Community #2, Community #3, Community #4, Community #5, Community #7
