Named for the distinctive red nose colouring. Exceptional schooling behaviour where the whole group moves as one tight unit. Needs soft acidic water and a shoal of 12 plus for best display.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธFeeding

Micro pellets, flakes, frozen daphnia. Feed twice daily in small amounts to match their small stomachs.

๐ŸฃBreeding

Egg scatterers. Very difficult to breed in captivity. Needs very soft acidic water to trigger spawning behaviour.

๐ŸคGood tankmates

Corydoras, Discus, Other small tetras

โš ๏ธAvoid mixing with
