Diamond Tetra

The Diamond Tetra (Moenkhausia pittieri) is one of the most stunning community fish available. Known for its glittering, metallic scales and graceful swimming, this peaceful species adds a touch of elegance to any aquarium.
Under good lighting, their entire body sparkles like a jewel — earning them their name.

Raised at our Florida aquaculture facility, these fish are hardy, well-acclimated, and ideal for both beginner and advanced aquarists. They thrive in groups of six or more and make excellent community fish.
