I added six Silver Tip Tetras to my community tank and they immediately started swimming together. The silver tips on their fins are very noticeable and they look lively. They don’t stress other fish and are easy to care for in a well-maintained tank.

The fish are active and peaceful. I kept them in a 20-gallon tank with other peaceful species. They form a nice school and add visual interest. A bit shy at first, but settled quickly.

Great addition to my freshwater setup. The color contrast between the golden body and black tail base is striking. They swim in tight groups and seem happy in the tank.
