🐟 Cosmic Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi (dyed))

A Vivid, Eye-Catching Colour on the Hardy, Classic White Skirt Tetra Body • A Bold, Budget-Friendly Way to Add Colour to a Community Tank • Easy Care Identical to the Standard Form

 

📋 The Cosmic Tetra brings a vivid, eye-catching splash of colour to the hardy, flowing-finned White Skirt Tetra, a bold, budget-friendly way to add real colour variety to a community aquarium.

The colouration on this variety is applied rather than genetic, distinct from our naturally pale White Skirt Tetra or our genetically fluorescent GloFish range. It comes from the same captive-bred lines as the standard White Skirt Tetra, with the original wild-type species native to the Paraguay River basin in South America. Every Cosmic Tetra we ship is feeding well.

This is a hardy, active schooling fish with identical care needs to the standard White Skirt Tetra, an easy, colourful choice for a beginner's community tank. It can show some fin-nipping tendencies in small groups, so a proper school of 6-10 or more keeps this behaviour spread out and the fish calmer overall. It reaches 5-6cm, so a 75L tank suits a school well.
