General:  A very hardy and active tetra.  They are compatible with fish of similar size but may nip fins of  slow moving small fish such as neons.  They are tolerant of unheated tanks.   Like most Tetras they do best in groups.  They  mix well with barbs, swords, and active tetras.

Feeding:  Feed at least twice a day.  They will accept a variety of foods.  Feed flakes, along with brine shrimp, bloodworms or frozen foods.  A tetra will show its best color after you have owned it for a few months, and have given it a high quality diet.

Compatibility:  Fish that go well with bloodfin tetras: Community #3
