Red Phantom Tetra (Hyphessobrycon sweglesi)
Red Phantom Tetra (Hyphessobrycon sweglesi) are one of the most underated fish in the hobby. As they grow older the colour starts developing a bright orange. They are very peaceful. Also, they will add some colour to your tank without looking unnatural. You can feed them Hikari Micro Pellets or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.
