Muzel Red Cherry Tetra

A striking red tetra sold under the Muzel Red Cherry trade name. Its red coloration makes a strong focal point in a planted display; trade-name fish should not be assumed to have a confirmed species identification.

Aquarium and care

Keep a social group in a mature tropical aquarium with planted margins, shaded refuge, and open swimming room. Stable soft to moderately soft freshwater and regular maintenance are a sensible starting point. Provide space for displays between males and confirm identification before designing a species-specific breeding setup.

Feeding

Offer small quality prepared foods with a rotation of appropriately sized frozen or live foods. Avoid relying on one food alone.

Temperament and tank mates

Choose peaceful companions of similar size and watch the group during acclimation. Avoid large predators and cramped housing that concentrates chasing.
