Columbian Tetra ( Pair )

The Columbian Tetra (Hyphessobrycon columbianus) is a vibrant and active freshwater fish known for its iridescent body and colorful fins. With a streamlined body and peaceful temperament, Columbian Tetras are ideal for community aquariums, where they can swim gracefully among other small, non-aggressive species.

These fish are schooling in nature and thrive best when kept in groups, but purchasing as a pair allows hobbyists to start their school. They prefer well-planted tanks with moderate water flow and open swimming areas. Columbian Tetras are hardy, adaptable, and easy to care for, feeding on flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods. With proper care, they can live up to 5–6 years and bring activity and color to any freshwater setup.
