Buenos Aires Tetras are active and somewhat feisty fish that thrive in freshwater tanks.

They are tough and ideal for beginners in fishkeeping. However, they can nip fins, so it’s important to choose tank mates carefully.

These fish do best in spacious environments where they can swim freely. Buenos Aires Tetras come from South America, specifically the La Plata area, which includes parts of Argentina, Paraguay, and southeastern Brazil. They are typically found in rivers, ponds, lakes, and streams in this region.
