Native to the clear waters and forested streams surrounding Lake Valencia in Venezuela, this beautiful tetra is prized by aquarists for its peaceful temperament, active nature, and ability to create a stunning display when kept in groups. As they mature, their reflective scales and subtle coloration make them a true gem in planted and community aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiamond Tetras are peaceful, social fish that thrive when kept in schools, where they display their most natural behaviors and feel more secure. They spend much of their time swimming through the middle levels of the aquarium, moving together while exploring plants, open water, and décor. Mature males develop longer fins and more intense iridescent coloration, while females tend to have a fuller body shape. Their calm personality makes them excellent companions for a wide variety of peaceful community fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beautiful tetras thrive in well-planted aquariums with open swimming areas, gentle water movement, and plenty of vegetation for cover. Floating plants, driftwood, and darker substrates help enhance their reflective coloration while creating a comfortable environment. They are adaptable to a range of water conditions but appreciate stable parameters and consistent maintenance. A varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp, and occasional live foods will help maintain their health, coloration, and activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–2.5 inches (5–6 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72–82°F (22–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, best kept in groups of 6 or more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their dazzling diamond-like scales, peaceful nature, and graceful schooling behavior, Diamond Tetras are an exceptional choice for aquarists seeking a refined and colorful community fish that adds sparkle, movement, and elegance to a freshwater aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fintastic Fish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43835722104967,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/0187\/7383\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_d33028f9-d765-45dc-9e3e-638ef96bc106.jpg?v=1770600479","url":"https:\/\/www.fintasticfish.ca\/products\/diamond-tetra","provider":"Fintastic Fish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
