Care guide at a glance
Hyphessobrycon peugeoti
Description
An uncommon South American tetra with a warm coppery body and a fine dark lateral line. Rarely offered and little documented.
Feeding
Flake, micro-pellets and frozen daphnia, cyclops and baby brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Peaceful. Keep in groups of eight or more with other small, calm species.
Behaviour and personality
Mid-water shoaler, more confident in a larger group with cover available.
Before you buy
Little reliable aquarium literature exists for this species, so care here follows close relatives. Soft, slightly acidic water is the safest starting point.
