Congo Tetra

The Congo Tetra is a pretty nervous fish. It is less skittish when its kept in a shallower aquarium with some finer plants. It may nibble on them a bit so you may prefer plastic plants in your fish tank. As with most tetras, this one likes good filtration and a steady flow of water. The males are much more attractive than the females and are easy to distinguish from each other. If you feed them live and frozen foods the males may become even more colorful.

Congo Tetra Breeding: Eggs will be scattered around on the fine leaved plants and should hatch in about a week.
