Penguin Tetra

Today I bought 5 pairs of Neon Tetras and 2 pairs of Penguin Tetras. I had seen these Penguin Tetra before but never bothered to watch them closely. But Today I spent few minutes watching them and then decided these cute fish are a nice addition for my new community tank.


Penguin Tetra should be kept in well planted aquariums. But There should be space for them to swim freely. If you are setting up a peaceful community aquarium with fish like Neon Tetra and Cardinal Tetra then these guys should be in it too. They swim near to surface and middle of tank. These guys are very active and should be kept in groups.

The Penguin Tetra comes from the tributaries and rivers of South America and makes a wonderful addition to any community aquarium. But I heard they can be aggrieve if tank size is small or other fish are smaller than them. I need to watch how things go in my tank between my school of Neon Tetras and Penguin Tetra. I know people who keep Penguin Tetra together with other peaceful Tetra kinds like Neon Tetra. So I can't say for sure these guys are aggressive or not. I guess I will able to post about this in a week or two.
