DESCRIPTION OF ITEM:
Ah, the Red Eye Tetra! That's a popular freshwater aquarium fish known for its distinctive appearance and peaceful nature. Here are some key characteristics of the Red Eye Tetra:

Appearance: The Red Eye Tetra (Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae) typically has a silver body with a bright red spot near its eye, which gives it its name. The fins are generally transparent or lightly colored, adding to its elegant look.

Size: They usually grow to about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) in length, making them suitable for medium-sized community aquariums.

Behavior: Red Eye Tetras are known for their peaceful temperament, making them excellent tank mates for other non-aggressive fish. They prefer to swim in schools, so it's recommended to keep them in groups of at least 6 individuals.

Water Conditions: They are adaptable to a range of water conditions but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5) and water temperature between 72-78°F (22-26°C). Good water quality is essential for their health and coloration.

Diet: They are omnivorous and will accept a variety of foods including flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and live foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. A varied diet helps maintain their health and vibrant colors.

Tank Setup: Provide them with plenty of swimming space and places to hide among plants and decorations. They appreciate a well-planted tank with areas of open space for swimming.

Red Eye Tetras are relatively easy to care for and are a favorite among aquarists for their striking appearance and peaceful nature. If you're considering keeping them in an aquarium, they can be a great choice for a community setup with other compatible fish species.
