Flame Pink Salmon Tetra Hyphessobrycon Flammeus 2cm
Overview: The Flame Pink Salmon Tetra, also known as the Flame Tetra, is a vibrant freshwater fish that brings a splash of color to any aquarium. This small, yet striking, species is known for its vivid pinkish-red body and a subtle iridescent sheen, making it a favorite among aquarists looking to add visual interest to their tanks.
Origin: Native to the clear water streams of Brazil, the Flame Tetra thrives in environments that replicate their natural habitat. Their presence in the aquarium hobby is attributed to their captivating appearance and peaceful nature.
Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, Flame Tetras are not fussy eaters. A balanced diet consisting of high-quality flake food, along with occasional live or frozen treats such as brine shrimp or daphnia, will keep them healthy and vibrant. It’s important to feed small amounts that can be consumed in a few minutes to prevent overfeeding and maintain water quality.
Tank Mates: The Flame Tetra is a peaceful species that does well in community tanks with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include other tetras, dwarf corydoras, and small rasboras. Avoid housing them with large or aggressive species that may bully or stress these gentle fish.
Aggression: This species exhibits very low levels of aggression and is best kept in schools of six or more to promote natural schooling behavior and reduce stress. When kept in groups, their confidence and vibrant colors are more pronounced.
Experience Level: Flame Tetras are suitable for aquarists of all experience levels, including beginners. Their hardiness and adaptability make them an excellent choice for those new to fish keeping.
Water Parameters: To ensure the health and well-being of Flame Tetras, maintain water temperatures between 72°F and 82°F (22°C - 28°C), with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Regular water changes and maintenance are essential to keep the water conditions ideal for these fish.
With their striking appearance and peaceful demeanor, Flame Pink Salmon Tetras are a wonderful addition to any freshwater aquarium, bringing both color and harmony to the aquatic environment.
