About this fish

Platinum Rummy Nose Tetra is a great pick for planted aquariums, chosen for colour, movement, and personality.

Why you will love it

  • Approx size in store: 3- 4cm
  • Best kept in groups of 8+

Care requirements

  • Care level: Moderate
  • Adult size: 4.5 cm
  • Temperature: 24 to 28°C
  • pH: 6.0 to 7.5
  • Swimming level: Middle

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. 

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.
