Red Phantom Tetra

The Red Phantom Tetra is not a very popular tropical fish simply because it enjoys a lower water temperature, in the aquarium, than most other tetras. If you cannot provide this delicate fish the proper conditions, you may want to try a species. This fish also likes to be fed several small meals a day, rather than just one big feeding. In the right conditions this fish is happiest with a planted aquarium with some open space and remember to do frequent partial water changes and have very good filtration and water flow.

 

Red Phantom Tetra Breeding: The aquarium should have a moss covered bottom and the water temperature very low, 68F, for spawning success.
