Overview
The Buenos Aires Tetra is legendary for its extreme hardiness and energetic swimming habits. Featuring a bright silvery body highlighted by neon-orange fins and a dark diamond pattern on the tail, it is an exceptionally robust fish that can handle almost any beginner mistake. However, they are enthusiastic omnivores with a strong appetite for live greenery. They are highly recommended for rock-based aquascapes, artificial setups, or tanks featuring tough plants like Anubias and Java Fern that can withstand their nibbling.
