Rosy Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus)

The Rosy Tetra is a deeper bodied fish, who has the shape typical of some of the larger tetra. They generally grow to around 1.6 inches and are a fun addition to a peaceful community aquarium with other small fish. They have a salmon coloured body with  highlighted red accents and bright white tips on the fins. Quality flake foods should make up about 60 to 80% of their diet, however they love to chase after live foods and may occasionally nibble on plants or algae.
