Reed Tetra

The Reed Tetra (Hyphessobrycon elachys) is a small and elegant species prized for its subtle beauty and schooling behavior. With its slender, reed-like body and gentle silvery sheen, this peaceful tetra brings graceful movement to the mid-levels of a community aquarium. Hardy and active, it thrives in groups, making it an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a calm and natural-looking shoal fish.

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".
