General: A very hardy and active tetra.  They are compatible with other active fish of similar size.  Like most tetras it does best in groups.  They can be feisty, so do not mix them with neons.   They are tolerant of low temperatures.

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've owned it a few months and have given it a high quality diet.

Compatibility:  Fish that go well with serpae tetras: Community #3, Community #4, Community #5
