About this fish

Albino Congo Tetra is a great pick for planted aquariums, chosen for colour, movement, and personality.

Why you will love it

  • Mid-water feature schooling fish (min. 6)
  • Approx size in store: 5 - 9cm
  • Best kept in groups of 6+
  • Community (active but gentle; males may spar)

Care requirements

  • Care level: Easy
  • Adult size: 8 cm
  • Temperature: 23 to 28°C
  • pH: 6.0 to 7.2
  • Swimming level: Middle
  • Minimum group size: 6+

Feeding: Offer a varied diet. A quality staple (flake or micro-pellet) plus frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworm) several times per week keeps colour and condition strong. For algae grazers, include wafers and blanched veg.

Compatibility: Best with peaceful, similarly sized tankmates. Avoid fin-nippers with long-finned species and avoid aggressive fish with shy species.

School of Scape quality: We select healthy fish and recommend acclimation and stable parameters for best results.
