The Hyphessobrycon procyon is a tetra that originates from the Rio Aripuanã in Brazil. It belongs to the genus Hyphessobrycon and is still relatively unexplored.
These fish are rare and require an aquarium with a minimum size of 80 cm, providing sandy substrate, plants, hiding places and shelters. They are peaceful and social, can be easily kept in groups and adapt well to the water parameters in the aquarium.
As for food, they are undemanding and can be fed with standard ornamental fish food. Breeding this species is difficult and requires low nitrate water and special conditions in the breeding tank.
Our food recommendation: The NatureHolic Main Feed is a professional staple food for all aquarium fish. We supply Hauptfeed in the form of soft granules, which, thanks to its grain size of half a millimeter, can be easily ingested by small to medium-sized fish. The soft consistency resembles the texture of insect larvae in nature and protects the fish mouth from micro-injuries.
Our plant recommendation: Use for planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: We recommend when keeping fish the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
