Silver Tip Tetra (Hasemania Nana)

The Silver Tip Tetra (Hasemania nana) is a small, active, and attractive fish species known for its silvery-tipped fins and shimmering golden body. Native to the São Francisco River Basin in Brazil, these energetic fish are perfect additions to a peaceful community aquarium.

Appearance:
Silver Tip Tetras exhibit a striking appearance with their golden-brown bodies and silver-tipped fins that shimmer in the aquarium light. Reaching up to 2 inches in length, they have a peaceful temperament and make an excellent choice for beginners.

Personality:
As schooling fish, Silver Tip Tetras should be kept in groups of at least 6 to encourage natural behavior and reduce stress. They prefer swimming in the middle to top areas of the tank and are a delight to watch as they zip around in their shoal.

Tank Habitat and Care:
Caring for Silver Tip Tetras is easy, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. A minimum 20-gallon tank with dense vegetation and hiding spots is recommended. Stable water parameters, including soft to moderately hard water, are essential for maintaining their health.

Diet:
These omnivorous fish enjoy a varied diet, including high-quality flake or pellet food, as well as live or frozen foods like daphnia, bloodworms, or brine shrimp to ensure proper nutrition.

To learn more about this fish, be sure to check out the Additional Information tab.
