Petco Freshwater Fish Red Phantom Tetra, (Hyphessobrycon sweglesi)
Description
The Red Phantom Tetra is a peaceful and visually striking freshwater species prized for its subtle silver body accented with vivid red fins and a faint black lateral stripe. Best kept in groups of six or more, they thrive in aquariums of 15-20 gallons or larger with stable, well-filtered water and gentle flow. Preferring slightly acidic to neutral conditions, Red Phantom Tetras flourish in planted tanks that offer soft cover while maintaining open areas for swimming. Calm, social, and community-friendly, they coexist well with other small, non-aggressive species. Hardy and undemanding, they readily accept flakes, micro-pellets, and frozen foods, adding gentle color and graceful schooling movement to freshwater aquariums.
