All Tetra species are small freshwater fishes from the family Characidae, from the order Characiformes. The Serpae tetra belongs to the genus Hyphessobrycon. Its scientific name is Hyphessobrycon serpae.
The body of this tetra is tall and compressed and can reach a size of 1.5 inches (4 centimeters). As mentioned above, this fish is often referred to as the "Blood Tetra," "Red Minor Tetra," and the like, and these names all derive from the fact that the Serpae Tetra has a distinct red body coloration. Shades vary from bright red to reddish brown. The red body is adorned with a black comma-shaped spot found just behind the gill cover. Some specimens have a very small marking or have no marking at all. As your Serpae Tetra gets older, the marking becomes smaller. The anal fin, pelvic fins, and tail are all red, and the anal fin is lined with black and white layers. The dorsal fin of the Serpae tetra is high and black with a thin white margin. This margin can sometimes have a reddish tint.
The Serpae Tetra is popular in community aquariums. Keep at least five, preferably more, Tetras together as they are schooling fish. They can become somewhat aggressive during feeding as they compete for food and sometimes nibble on each other's fins. Some aquarists even compare their feeding habits to the "feeding frenzy" that piranhas exhibit.
It is native to South America, where it is found in the Amazon Basin, Guaporé River and Paraguay River. Keep the water temperature in your aquarium between 72 and 79 °F (22 and 26 °C). The pH should be between 5 and 7.8 and the dH between 10 and 25. Do not keep your Serpae Tetra in an aquarium smaller than 60 centimeters.
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.
