Whitefin Ornatus or Hyphessobrycon sp

Whitefin Ornatus or Hyphessobrycon sp are beautiful and will make a great addition to your community tank. They are very peaceful, making it an ideal resident of the well-researched community aquarium.

It is perhaps best-maintained alongside similarly-sized fish.

Try to buy a mixed-sex group of at least 8-10 specimens since this species forms temporary dominance hierarchies within which males compete for female attention, and therefore display more interesting behaviour and better colouration when maintained in numbers.

You can feed them Hikari Micro Wafers or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.

*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.

*Please remember that these fish can change their colour according to the light and substrate colour – for optimal colour, invest in a Chihiros, Twinstar or ADA light.
