Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi. A hardy tetra with a bright white-over-black stripe along the body. Looks best in a large group against plants.
Hardier than the Neon Tetra and tolerant of a range of water. A planted tank with some open swimming space suits them.
Omnivore. Fine flakes or micro-pellets, with frozen or live daphnia, brine shrimp and bloodworm for colour and condition.
Egg-scatterer. Spawns in mature, planted tanks; adults will eat eggs, so move eggs or use a separate breeding tank to raise fry.
