The Rummy-Nose Tetra (Hemigrammus rhodostomus) is a favorite among aquarists for its distinctive appearance and synchronized schooling behavior. Its ruby-red face, silver body, and black-and-white striped tail fin make it a standout species in any community tank.
Native to the soft, acidic waters of the Amazon River, this fish thrives in clean, stable water conditions. When kept in groups of 8 or more, their coordinated swimming adds harmony and elegance to the aquarium.
Rummy-Nose Tetras are peaceful, hardy, and well-suited for planted or aquascaped tanks, pairing beautifully with Neon Tetras, Corydoras, and small Rasboras.
