Care guide at a glance
Hasemania nana
Description
A warm copper-gold tetra with brilliant white tips on every fin, the marking becoming brighter as the fish matures. Lively and hardy, with a slight edge to its temperament.
Feeding
Flake, micro-pellets and frozen foods. Enthusiastic and unfussy feeder.
Compatibility
Generally good in a community, but keep in groups of ten or more; in small numbers they will nip fins. Avoid slow, long-finned tankmates such as guppies and bettas.
Behaviour and personality
Fast, active and always near the front of the tank at feeding time. Males colour up to a deeper copper.
Before you buy
The nipping problem is a numbers problem. A group of six will harass tankmates; a group of twelve occupies itself. Buy enough or don't buy them.
