{"product_id":"flame-tetra","title":"Flame Tetra","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe flame tetra (Hyphessobrycon flammeus), also called the von Rio tetra, comes from coastal streams around Rio de Janeiro. The front half of the body is silvery and marked with two short dark vertical bars behind the gill cover, and the rear half and fins shade into a warm red-orange. Males are the more intense fish. It is an undemanding tetra that has stayed popular for decades because it is genuinely easy to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, around 4 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoaling — keep eight or more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerates a wide range of water conditions, which makes it forgiving for a newer keeper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours strongly over dark substrate in a planted tank; it looks washed out in a bare bright one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes flake, micro pellets and frozen foods readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful, and not a notable fin-nipper by tetra standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey suit a peaceful planted community with corydoras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids and other small tetras.
