Gold Tetra
(Hemigrammus rodwayi)
Common names: Gold Tetra, Golden Tetra.
Size: 5cm
pH: 6.0 – 7.0
Tempº: 24ºC - 28ºC
Tank region: Middle layer
Origin: Guyana.
Gender: The analfin of the female has a red hue, and a white leading edge.
Notes: This small Amazonian species is an excellent fish for a community aquarium thanks to it’s small size and peaceful nature. As with all tetras, the Gold Tetra needs to be kept in schools of at least 6 or more to avoid stress. Gold Tetras are slightly delicate, so should be added to an established tank with stable water parameters.
They enjoy the cover provided by a planted tank, and will readily accept processed Flake Foods. Gold tetras are very beautiful in the aquarium, and can be quite energetic so open swimming space is a must as well as some cover.
