Silvertip Tetra

A good school can transform a small aquarium, and Silvertip Tetra brings exactly that: motion, cohesion, and clean community behavior.

Silvertip Tetra (Hasemania nana) is best kept as a school in a fully cycled 10- to 20-gallon aquarium. They look best and behave most naturally in a proper group. This species is especially useful in planted tank layouts because it adds motion without overpowering the scape. Adult shrimp are usually left alone in well-planted tanks.
