Profiles Tropical Tetra
The tetra is often the iconic fish associated with keeping tropical fish and will often be one of the first types of fish you might keep in the home aquarium. These are recommended as such due to not growing to be huge fish yet from an early age they exhibit vibrant colours and are generally always active. Given a big enough tank most types are likely to shoal giving you a fascinating home aquarium.
