Nego Dagua Tetra
About this product
The Nego Dagua Tetra is a striking, lesser-known schooling tetra that brings subtle elegance and contrast to planted aquariums. Its silvery-grey body, darker markings and distinctive white-edged fins create a refined look against lush green foliage and natural hardscape. Native to Brazil, this active tetra displays fascinating schooling behaviour and deeper charcoal tones in mature males.
