Can be kept in hard, slightly
alkaline water. Prefers tanks that have zones with tempered light, a dark soil,
and some planted regions in the back, in between which the fish will swim and
rest. Mostly the fish will inhabit the free swimming space in the middle of the
tank, and the males will frequently display towards each other, and can be kept
with other fish that have similar requirements, although the tank shouldn't be
overcrowded. If fully grown and kept under the right circumstances the fish can
be stunning! Feeding: Omnivorous, all food is taken. Live insects are a
special treat for the fish.
Breeding: If a suitable pair is
placed in a small breeding tank with little light, soft acidic water, and a
substrate (plants) spawning will take place. The parents should be removed or
else they will eat the eggs. At a temperature of 26c degrees the eggs will hatch
after 1-1.5 days, and be free swimming after another 3-4 days. Moenkhausia
pittieri fry are small, and can only be fed with infusoria in the first week. If
fed well, and combined with frequent water changes, the fry can grow quite fast.

little tetra is native to Argentina in South America. The maximum
size of the Fire Tetra is around 2cm when fully mature making it a very
popular addition to the small aquaria, or when kept in large schools,
a spectacular addition to larger aquaria. This fish was discovered
about fifteen years ago and named in honor of the intrepid fish explorer
Heiko Bleher's mother (Amanda Bleher). Ideal sub for those of you
hot for the Galaxy Rasbora!

Another perfect Tetra for any
South American habitat aquarium. Not a common find! In a planted
tank, it can only be described as a living jewel! It's special fascination
is that the fish's color changes and evolves with time. The body of the
male is a metallic blue green, and the anal fin and lower rear of the
body is red. As the male matures the tips of his pelvic and anal fins
turn a brilliant white. As he matures further, the edges of the lobes
of his tail turn white. The base of the tail is red and spreads over the
remainder of the tail as he ages. When the male displays for spawning
or dominance, the base of his anal and dorsal fins turn a deep black green
color. The female has a more heavy body, and she is more of a metallic
greenish blue in color. She has a hi-light of blue along her lateral line.
She also has the red that the male has, but her fins are clear.
Keep these fish in schools of 1 dozen or more.

Here's another reason why people
buy fish from us! This unusual little guy is something you just
don't see often. Nope, it's not a common Chinese algae eater, although
it may look like one, it's actually a Hummingbird Tetra! A peaceful
loner that should be kept either singly, or in a large group of eight
or more fish. If kept in groups smaller than about eight, fish can
act aggressively. Combine with small to medium-sized fish of upper
swimming levels. An inquisitive fish, always investigating the tank floor.
Yes, these will nibble on algae!!! Breeding the Hummingbird is fairly
easy. A pair spawns on the bottom, laying side to side. The parents should
be removed from the tank after the eggs are laid. The 150 eggs fall between
rocks and hatch after 30 to 40 hours. The fry have very small mouths and
should be raised on food tablets, infusoria, and Artemia. A robust
species, that is suitable for most community tanks!

The lemon
Tetra is a very good community fish but is happiest in a school of 6 or
more of its own kind. The Lemon Tetra likes a planted aquarium balanced
with plenty of open space to swim around with it's buddies. They are most
comfortable in an aquarium with floating plants as well as some open spaces
to swim in.
This
is a very pretty fish, but the Lemon Tetra is most attractive if it is
well maintained. It will show its best coloring with a proper diet which
can be provided with a color enhancing food, such as NLS Foods listed
above.. There is now a color morph which has been developed
that is an albino form, but the lemon form is still preferred.
