Family: Characidae
Species: Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis
Size: 5cm (2 inch)
Diet: Omnivorous
Tank levels: All
Habitat: Streams of the Amazon basin
Remarks: This fish looks best shoaling in a well planted tank.
Comments: The dorsal fin contains black with a yellow streak on the front edge; the adipose fin is yellow with a black edge; and the long-based anal fin has a bright yellow front and black rear edge. General colouration is greenish yellow with silver belly. Mature males are more intensely coloured. If you want something that's a little different from the normal tetra, this is a good choice to go with. Quite easy to keep and looks good in any aquarium with other small fish!
