Congo Tetra
Product Details
One of the few African tetras to become popular in the hobby, these grow into stunning fish with a rainbow of iridescence. In addition, males are famous for the long extension on the center of their tail fin.
Tetras are one of the most popular aquarium fish because their are just so many kinds that there is something for everyone. Their generally small size and peaceful nature make them easy aquarium inhabitants and many of them are strikingly colorful, making them pleasing to watch.
In the wild, most tetras are omnivores. During the wet season, they have rich pickings of various insect larvae, micro-crustaceans, worms, etc. In the dry season however, these rich food sources are greatly reduced and many tetras rely on detritus, algae, and biofilm to get them through the lean times. This ability to switch food sources make them very adaptable to aquarium foods and they will relish almost any dry, frozen, or live foods offered. We typically feed a rotation of Aquarium Coop Easy Community Floating Pellets and/or Magic Small Fish Feed, Xtreme Krill Flake, Xtreme Monster Pellets, algae flakes, algae wafers, and the occasional treat of brine shrimp or blood worms.
