Rummynose Tetra Pack of 6 Live Aquarium Fish

Striking and Peaceful Rummy Nose Tetra (Hemigrammus bleheri)

Unique Appearance This consistently colorful Rummy Nose Tetra (Hemigrammus bleheri), also known as the Firehead Tetra, is one of the most in-demand nano and planted tank species. Its striking appearance, characterized by a red-orange nose and horizontally striped black and white tail, makes it a standout addition to any aquarium.

Popular Schooling Community Fish The Rummy Nose Tetra is a very popular schooling community fish, known for its peaceful disposition and outgoing personality. Schools of these tetras create a vibrant, lively atmosphere in the aquarium.

Behavior in the Tank Typically found in the top and middle levels of the water column, the Rummy Nose Tetra is also often seen in the middle and bottom levels. This adaptability allows it to thrive in various areas of the tank, making it easy to observe its dynamic behaviors.

Compatible Tankmates Safe with other peaceful, small fish, the Rummy Nose Tetra can be kept with adult dwarf shrimp. However, it may eat small dwarf shrimp and their fry, so it should not be kept with very small shrimp. Larger, peaceful invertebrates, such as Neocaridina shrimp and ghost shrimp, are also suitable tankmates.

Tank Conditions While tank-bred, the Rummy Nose Tetra is fairly adaptable, but its natural habitat features soft, acidic water rich in tannins and leaf litter. Maintaining these conditions will help it thrive and maintain its vibrant coloration.
