Received the pack of six Serpae Tetras in good condition. They are active and colorful, adding a nice splash of red and black to the tank. The fish seem healthy and are not showing any signs of stress. Only noticed slight fin-nipping during feeding, which is expected.

The fish arrived quickly and are vibrant. I paired them with neon tetras and they get along well. They stay active throughout the day and the colors are very striking. A bit of fin-nipping when feeding, but manageable.

Great quality and packaging. The Serpae Tetras are lively and have bright red bodies with distinct black markings. I’ve kept them for two months now and they are thriving in a 10-gallon tank with proper water parameters.

The fish are colorful and active, but I noticed some fin-nipping behavior when feeding. I’ve added more hiding spots to reduce stress. Overall, they are a good addition to a community tank.
