{"product_id":"untitled-aug21_16-11","title":"Candy Cane Tetra","description":"\u003cp\u003eCandy cane tetra is a trade name for Hyphessobrycon bentosi, a member of the rosy tetra group from the lower Amazon. The body is a soft pink-translucent with a dark shoulder mark, and the fins are edged or tipped in white against a red base. Mature males develop a long, flowing dorsal fin that they raise constantly in display. Names within this group overlap heavily between suppliers, so it is worth confirming with our staff what is actually in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaches roughly 4 to 5 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoaling — keep eight or more so the display behaviour is spread through the group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefers soft to moderately hard, slightly acidic water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours best over dark substrate in a planted tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMales spar with fins raised; it is display rather than damage in a proper group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes flake, micro pellets and frozen foods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey suit a planted community with corydoras, rasboras, pencilfish and dwarf cichlids.
