Overview

Gold Widow Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) is a pale colour form of the Black Widow Tetra. Its deep body and flowing anal fin make a lively display in a planted community aquarium. Adults reach approximately 6 cm.

Behaviour

Keep at least 8–10 together. A proper shoal helps distribute attention within the group; small groups may become persistent fin-nippers.

Tank Size

Provide at least 70 litres with a 75 × 30 cm footprint, increasing space for tankmates. Plant the edges and leave a clear central swimming area.

Compatibility

Choose similarly sized, active but peaceful fish. Avoid slow or long-finned fish, including male Siamese fighters, and monitor for chasing.

Diet

Offer a varied diet of quality flakes or small pellets with appropriately sized frozen foods. Feed measured portions.

Care

Maintain around 20–26°C in a mature aquarium. Slightly acidic to neutral water suits this species; avoid abrupt changes. Use effective filtration and a regular partial-water-change routine.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes using conditioned, temperature-matched water.
