Freshwater Schooling Community Fish • Active Peaceful Swimmer • Beginner Friendly Aquarium Fish
📋 Description
The Longfin Serpae Tetra is a freshwater schooling characin valued for its attractive colouration and lively schooling behaviour in a community aquarium.
A long-finned selectively bred variant of the classic Serpae Tetra, retaining the same deep red body and black shoulder spot. Best kept in larger groups to redirect natural fin-nipping tendencies within the school rather than toward tank mates.
