Are you looking for a colorful and peaceful ornamental fish for your aquarium? Then the Ruby Tetras (Aphyocharax rathbuni) are just right for you! These schooling fish originate from South America and are easy to keep even for beginners. They are suitable for both species tanks and community aquariums and only require a minimum tank size of 60 cm.
Ruby tetras prefer soft to medium hard water at a temperature of 19-26° Celsius and a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. They are uncomplicated fish that feed on commercially available ornamental fish food, frozen food and live food. In addition, they can be bred in the aquarium.
Upon delivery, Ruby Tetras are usually between 2-2.5 cm in size, but can grow up to 6 cm.
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 absorbed 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.
