Hyphessobrycon peruvianus – Peruvian Tetra

Hyphessobrycon peruvianus – Peruvian Tetra is a small, peaceful schooling fish that you can keep together with other characins. The aquarium should be planted densely with fine-leaved plants. A dark substrate and a dimmed light by using floating plants bring out the colors of the fish. A regular water change with soft, acidic water is recommended.

Diet

Small live food should be given as food. Frozen and dry food are accepted as well. Consider the size of the food with young fish as they have tiny mouths.

Breeding Hyphessobrycon peruvianus

Hardly anything is known about the breeding of the Hyphessobrycon peruvianus in the aquarium.
