Received the pack of six Colombian tetras and they are very active and colorful. The red fins stand out well in the tank. They seem to enjoy swimming together in groups. Easy to care for and add a lot of energy to the aquarium.

The fish arrived healthy and showed good coloration. They are more active than other tetra species I’ve had. I keep them in a 20-gallon tank with other peaceful fish. They school well and look great together.
