Keeping Albino Goldfin Tetra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 60 liters (15 gallons) for a small school
  • Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish such as other small tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, corydoras, and peaceful bottom dwellers. Avoid housing with large or aggressive fish that may prey on them.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with open swimming spaces. Prefers subdued lighting and a dark substrate to bring out its colors. Being a schooling fish, it should be kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial, especially for albino strains which can sometimes be more sensitive.
