Another very popular fish that is very easy to keep. Rummynose tetras like several bushy plants in the aquarium and prefer to be in a shoal of and least 12-14 fish. But don't let this put you off buying them, once in a nice tank, rummynose tetras will thrive in your aquarium and before long will become one of your favorite fish in the aquarium. The most striking feature of this fish is its bright red nose and its fascinating black and white tail. They will breed quite easily in an aquarium if they're given the correct conditions. But as soon as the eggs are laid, make sure to remove the rummynoses into a separate aquarium as they are guaranteed to search for the eggs and then try to devour them.
The rummy-nose tetra is a torpedo-shaped fish so it is very fast. This fish's main body color is a translucent silvery color however some specimens have a greenish tint.
Feeding:
Rummynose tetras will eat absolutely anything you put in the aquarium, flake food, live foods, brine and river shrimp, grated beef heart or even a little vegetable matter would be most enjoyed.
They will be one of the first fish in an aquarium to feed so make sure there is enough food for the other inhabitants in the aquarium without overfeeding.
