Keeping Red-eye Tetra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner

• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 liters (20 gallons)
• Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish such as other tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and small peaceful cichlids. Should be kept in groups of 6 or more to reduce stress and encourage natural schooling behavior.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with open swimming spaces. Subdued lighting and a dark substrate can enhance their coloration. Good filtration and regular water changes are essential for maintaining water quality.
