Yellow phantom tetra or Hyphessobrycon roseus
Yellow phantom tetra or Hyphessobrycon roseus are one of the most underrated fish in the hobby. They are very peaceful. Also, they will add some colour to your tank without it looking unnatural. You can feed them Hikari Micro Pellets or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.

Mikhail (verified owner) –
I have added a group to my Hyphessobrycon-species tank, and wholeheartedly agree with McMerwe’s statement about these being one of the most underrated fish in the hobby. I absolutely love these fish, they majestically school with the amadae (Ember Tetra) and add a touch of natural colour to the aquarium. Top-notch service from McMerwe once again – I would highly recommend them with, and have full confidence in the quality of their livestock!
