Keeping Rummy-nose tetras, requires specific care to ensure their health. These colourful freshwater fish are native to South America and are popular for their appearance and peaceful nature.

To keep them well, maintain a 20-gallon tank with a reliable filtration system. Water should be slightly acidic to neutral, with a temperature of 74-80°F (23-27°C).

Adding live plants and dim lighting mimics their habitat. Keep them in groups of at least six to reduce stress.

Feed them a varied diet of high-quality flake foods, brine shrimp, daphnia, and insects. Regular water changes and monitoring are important.
