RED PHANTOM TETRA

The Red Phantom Tetra is a striking freshwater fish prized for its deep crimson coloring and elegant finnage. Native to South American blackwater streams, this small tetra reaches about 1.5 inches and thrives in soft, acidic water conditions. Males display more vibrant red hues, particularly in their dorsal fins, making them popular for planted and community aquariums. These peaceful schooling fish prefer groups of six or more and do best with subdued lighting that enhances their natural coloration. They're compatible with other small, non-aggressive species and appreciate dense vegetation for security. Red Phantoms require stable water parameters and regular maintenance to maintain their distinctive appearance and ensure long-term health.
