More Information ...
The True Rummy-Nose Tetra gets its name from the red blushing across its nose and face. But its beautiful coloration does not end there. Hemigrammus bleheri has a mirror-like silver body and a jet-black tail striped with white.
Even though a kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) is larger than a rummy-nose tetra (Hemigrammus rhodostomus), the rummy-nose tetra compensates with its constant activity, which requires quite a bit of oxygen to fuel its metabolism.
Other fish it should be kept with include: Cardinal Tetra, Rummy-nose Tetra, Black Neon Tetra, Rafel Catfish, Cory Catfish and Sailfin Pleco.
They are particularly striking against a background of light green plants.
Two similar species are often sold under the same common names - Hemigrammus rhodostomus and Petitella georgiae (False Rummy-Nose tetra).
