Ruby Tetra (Axelrodia riesei)

Remarks: Ruby Tetras (Axelrodia riesei) are a perfect choice for nano tanks. They are small, shy tetras with a pinkish-red hue and a black tear-drop spot on the caudal peduncle. Because of their size and relative shyness, we recommend at least 15 of these tetras in any tank larger than 10 gallons. For a small tank, such as 5-10 gallons, a group of 6-10 will suffice provided there are no other fish present.  Scientific Name: Axelrodia riesei Common Name: Ruby Tetra Max Size: 1" pH: 5.0-8.0 Hardness: Soft Temperature: 70-82° Aggressiveness: Peaceful Region of Origin: South America Captive Bred or Wild: Wild Caught Diet: Small flake or pellet, small frozen or live foods Compatibility: Similarly sized schooling fish, dwarf cichlids, Corydoras, livebearers, rainbowfish, Loricariids Tank Mate Options: Gold Ram Rummynose Tetra Rhino Pleco *****Please review our Shipping and Handling FAQ prior to placing your order.
