Hyphessobrycon rosaceus – Rosy Tetra

Hyphessobrycon rosaceus or Rosy Tetra is a peaceful schooling fish suitable for the community aquarium. The aquarium should be planted densely on the sides and background. In the middle, you should leave a lot of free swimming space. A dark substrate and a dimmed light bring out the colors of the fish.

Synonyms: Hyphessobrycon bentosi rosaceus, Hyphessobrycon ornatus, Cheirodon troemneri.

Origin

South America, Guyana, Brasil.

Diet

The fish prefers live food, but dry food is accepted as well.

Breeding Hyphessobrycon rosaceus

De kweek van de Hyphessobrycon rosaceus is niet zo moeilijk. De eieren worden tussen fijnbladerige planten zoals Javamos afgezet. Na het afzetten moeten de ouders verwijderd worden. Na 24 uur komen de eieren uit en na 5 dagen zwemmen de jongen vrij. Ze moeten gevoerd worden met het fijnste stofvoer en later met fijngemalen droogvoer zoals mikromin.

Breeding variants

You can also find a number of cultivated varieties of this species in the shop. An example of this is the Hyphessobrycon Bentosi White Fin. A veil tail variant is also available.
