Posted by Max Gandara on on 19th Nov 2025

Rummynose Tetra is a striking and peaceful freshwater fish, celebrated for its vibrant red nose and beautifully patterned tail. Native to the slow-moving rivers and streams of South America, this species adds color, elegance, and activity to community aquariums.

These tetras are highly social and thrive in schools of six or more, displaying synchronized swimming patterns that are a delight to observe. Their active and curious nature makes them ideal for planted aquariums, where they weave gracefully among plants and decorations.

Rummynose Tetras prefer stable water conditions with slightly acidic to neutral pH and moderate temperatures. They are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet of high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, frozen, and live foods, which helps maintain their brilliant red coloration and overall vitality.

Calm and non-aggressive, Rummynose Tetras are excellent community fish and coexist well with other small, peaceful species. Their lively schooling behavior, vivid colors, and gentle temperament make them a favorite among aquarists looking to add movement and charm to a freshwater tank. Ideal for both beginner and experienced hobbyists, Rummynose Tetras bring beauty, activity, and personality to any aquarium setup.
