🐟 Silvertip Tetra (Hasemania nana)
A Warm Copper-Bronze Body With Metallic Silver-Tipped Fins • An Active, Hardy Schooling Fish • Peaceful and Easy With a Wide Range of Tankmates
📋 The Silvertip Tetra has a warm copper-to-bronze body with fins tipped in a bright, metallic silver-white, a subtle but attractive colour combination that catches the light as it moves.
It comes from Brazil, naturally forming active schools in slow-moving streams. Every Silvertip Tetra we ship is feeding well.
This is a peaceful, active schooling species and a hardy, beginner-friendly choice for a community tank, mixing well with rasboras, danios, corydoras, other peaceful tetras, rainbowfish, and many other peaceful community fish. It reaches 4.5-5cm, so a 75L tank suits a school well.
