Silver Tip Tetra

Silver Tip Tetras are generally non-aggressive but may nip at fins on occasion. These brightly colored fish add movement and color to any aquarium. Preferring low lighting, this tetra does best in a planted tank that will provide cover as well. Small Tetras and Guppies are not good choices for tank mates.

Tropical fish flakes. Can give brine shrimp or blood worms as a treat.
