Colombian Tetra

Known to be active swimmers, the colombian tetra has all the indicators of a fish that is good at catching its prey and capable of avoiding being eaten by larger fish. Fishkeepers are generally drawn to their striking colours but if new owners fail to keep them in the correct conditions, they can look quite plain and not reveal their brilliant reds and blues.

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
