Overview: The Ornate White Fin Bentosi Tetra, distinguished by its elegant, flowing fins and striking markings, is a peaceful and captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. With its shimmering silver body adorned with delicate white finnage, this tetra adds grace and beauty to community tanks.
Origin: Originating from the rivers and streams of South America, particularly Brazil and the Amazon Basin, these tetras thrive in well-oxygenated, slow-moving waters abundant with vegetation.
Feeding: These tetras are omnivores, readily accepting high-quality flake foods, micro pellets, and frozen or live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. Supplement their diet with vegetable matter for optimal health and coloration.
Tank Mates: Peaceful and sociable, Bentosi Tetras coexist harmoniously with other small, non-aggressive fish such as other tetras, rasboras, small catfish like Corydoras, and peaceful dwarf cichlids. Avoid pairing them with larger or aggressive species that might intimidate them.
Aggression: These tetras are exceptionally peaceful and exhibit no aggression towards other tank inhabitants. They prefer the safety of shoaling and thrive when kept in groups of at least six individuals.
