Temprement:
Congo tetras are peaceful, active schooling fish that prefer groups of six or more in large, planted tanks, and can be kept with other peaceful species of similar size, but avoid fin-nippers due to males' long fins. They are omnivorous and can be jumpers, so a secure lid is necessary. Males display vibrant colors and longer fins, while females are more muted.
 
TNT Notes:
Fish are around 3cm in size. Pictures really dont do these justice so nice once settled in and fully coloured. Stunning tetra!
