Flame Tetra or Hyphessobrycon flammeus
Flame Tetra or Hyphessobrycon flammeus are some of the most beautiful fish in the store. A photo will never do them justice. They have this elegance, yet robust swim they perform. Very good looking fish for any community aquarium.
Feeding:
We feed our Flame Tetra or Hyphessobrycon flammeus Hikari Micro Pellets, but Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu is a great food for these guys.
*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client, we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RECEIVING ONLY MALES OR ONLY FEMALES OR JUVENILE FISH.
