Received the pack of six black tetras in good condition. They were active and colorful right after arrival. Easy to care for and fit well in a 10-gallon community tank. Great for beginners looking to add a vibrant fish to their setup.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active in my tank. I mixed them with neon tetras and they coexist peacefully. Only need to feed them twice daily with flakes and frozen food.

Perfect for a small freshwater aquarium. The black tetras swim gracefully and add a nice contrast to the tank. I’ve kept them for three months and they’re still lively and healthy.
