Care notes
Transparent body with vivid red fins — glass-like appearance makes it stunning in planted tanks. Tolerates a wide temperature range including cooler water. Often confused with the Bloodfin Tetra (Aphyocharax). Very peaceful schooling fish.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
