Description
Overview & Appearance
- Size: Grows to a maximum length of about 3.4 cm (1.3 to 1.5 inches).
- Appearance: Features a translucent, light pinkish-white body with vibrant red fins and a distinctive tall dorsal fin marked with black and white.
- Sexual Dimorphism: Males are slimmer, larger, and more colorful with elongated, extended dorsal fins, while females tend to have rounder bodies.
- Distinction: It is often confused with its close relative Megalamphodus bentosi, but the rosy tetra is distinguished by the lack of a dark humeral spot (the dark mark right behind the gill cover).
Aquarium Care
- Temperament: Peaceful, schooling fish that do best when kept in groups of at least six individuals.
- Tank Conditions: Prefers a heavily planted aquarium with soft, slightly acidic water and a temperature range of 22 to 26°C (72 to 79°F).
- Diet: Omnivorous and unfussy, readily accepting flakes, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods like daphnia and brine shrimp.
