RUMMY NOSE TETRA

The Rummy Nose Tetra is a playful species of Tetra fish that is quite easy to care for and maintain in a small or medium-sized freshwater setup if you have the right knowledge and some experience with handling schooling fishes.

Beside that, Rummy Nose Tetra is one of the members of the popular Tetra family. There are three known species of this fish, and all of them originated in the Amazon River. Colorful and lively, this fish is a great match for serious aquarists who have experience with keeping water parameters stable.

The Rummy Nose Tetra is an omnivore through and through; this means that you can feed it a balanced mix of commercial pellets or flakes, as well as rotating portions of protein-rich food, leafy vegetables, and even a few pieces of fish-safe fruits.

The Rummy Nose Tetra is not picky when it comes to food. In fact, as long as it is not being bullied or harassed by other fish in the tank, you can bet on the Rummy Nose Tetra to immediately go for the food you offer. The trick is really finding out what your fish likes and providing them with a consistent feeding time so that they can better anticipate when they will be fed.

Pay close attention to the ideal Rummy Nose Tetra temperature having in mind that it prefers to swim between 75 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and pH level as these fish are known to be quite sensitive to these particular parameters should be between 6.2 to 7.0. The water hardness, however, has to be between 2 to 10 dKH.
