Petco Freshwater Fish Flame Tetra, (Hyphessobrycon flammeus)
Description
The Flame Tetra is a vibrant, small freshwater fish prized for its striking fiery red-orange body and peaceful, active schooling behavior. Best kept in groups of six or more, Flame Tetras thrive in aquariums of 15-20 gallons or larger with well-filtered, stable water and gentle flow. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water and feel most comfortable in planted tanks that offer soft cover while maintaining open swimming areas. Calm and community-friendly, they coexist well with other small, non-aggressive species. Easy to care for and feed, Flame Tetras readily accept flakes, micro-pellets, and frozen foods, making them an ideal choice for hobbyists looking to add vivid color and lively motion to a freshwater aquarium.
