Overview

Diamond Flame Tetras are the diamond variety of Hyphessobrycon flammeus, rather than the different species commonly called Diamond Tetra. Supplied size: 2.5cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

Shoaling fish that need companions of their own species. Keep at least eight to ten together, with plants for cover and open swimming room.

Tank Size

We recommend at least 60 litres with a 60cm swimming length for a shoal, with more space for tankmates. Adults reach around 3–4cm.

Compatibility

Choose peaceful companions of appropriate size and water requirements. Avoid fish large enough to swallow them.

Diet

Offer fine flakes or small granules with suitable small frozen or live invertebrates.

Care

Maintain stable water around 22–26°C and pH 6–7.5. Use a mature filter and acclimatise gradually. 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 with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
