Keep Red-Line Tetras in a group of at least six, with a larger shoal preferred. They look best in planted aquariums with subdued areas, open swimming space and gentle companions that enjoy similar soft to neutral water.
A dark background, plants and leaf-litter-style cover help the red line stand out. Avoid aggressive fin nippers and large predatory fish.
Feed fine flakes, micro pellets, daphnia, cyclops and baby brine shrimp. Small varied meals help maintain colour and keep the shoal active.
Red-Line Tetras are packed carefully as livestock and sent by licensed live-animal courier. Follow the acclimation instructions for Live Arrival Guarantee cover, and use WELCOME10 if your first order is eligible.
