The Blueberry Tetra is a vibrant and peaceful freshwater fish renowned for its striking deep blue coloration, iridescent shimmer, and small, graceful form. Perfect for planted aquariums, nano tanks, or community setups, this tetra adds brilliant color and lively activity to any freshwater display.
Shipped at 0.5–0.75 inches, these juveniles are hardy and will grow to approximately 1–1.25 inches, with their vivid blue hues becoming more intense as they mature.
Care & Aquarium Requirements:
Blueberry Tetras thrive in soft to moderately hard, slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 72–79°F). They prefer heavily planted tanks with open swimming areas and gentle water flow. Peaceful and schooling by nature, they should be kept in groups of 6 or more, which encourages natural behavior, enhances color, and reduces stress.
Feeding & Diet:
These tetras are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet of high-quality flake foods, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia, microworms, or baby brine shrimp. Frequent, small feedings help maintain health, growth, and vibrant coloration.
Breeding Information:
Blueberry Tetras are egg-scatterers that deposit eggs among fine-leaved plants. Maintaining stable water parameters and providing live foods encourages successful breeding and healthy fry development.
