Overview
With their intense jewel-like coloration, Serpae Tetras add an unmistakable spark to a freshwater aquarium. They boast a deep, fiery-red body accented by a prominent black spot just behind the gills and a crisp black-and-white trim along their fins. They are highly active and visually captivating as they zip around the mid-levels of the tank. Like the Black Skirt, they can occasionally nip at long-finned tank mates, so keeping them in a larger group is highly recommended to keep their playful aggression contained within the school.
