African Longfin Tetra Alestes Brycinus Longipinnis 5cm

Introducing the captivating African Longfin Tetra (Alestes brycinus longipinnis), a striking species that brings elegance to any aquarium setting. Originating from the Congo River basin in Africa, these tetras boast elongated fins that gracefully flow with their movements, adding a touch of sophistication to their appearance.

Feeding the African Longfin Tetra is a straightforward affair, as they readily accept high-quality flake, pellet, and frozen foods. Their omnivorous nature allows for a varied diet, including live or frozen treats like bloodworms and brine shrimp, enhancing their vibrancy and overall health.

In community tanks, these tetras shine among peaceful companions, thriving alongside similarly-sized non-aggressive species such as other tetras, rasboras, and peaceful bottom-dwellers like Corydoras catfish. Their tranquil demeanor and lack of aggression make them wonderful additions to community setups.

For aquarists seeking a moderate challenge, the African Longfin Tetra demands some experience in maintaining stable water conditions. Keeping a close eye on water parameters is essential; they prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with temperatures ranging from 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C). Additionally, a well-planted tank with ample swimming space and subdued lighting replicates their natural habitat, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

Overall, the African Longfin Tetra is a visually captivating, peaceful species suited for experienced aquarists willing to provide a well-maintained environment alongside compatible tank mates. Their graceful demeanor and striking appearance make them a delightful addition to any community aquarium.
