Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae "Red Eye Tetra"
The Red Eye Tetra is a silver fish with a black bar at the base of the tail and red in the eyes. Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae is practically identical to the slightly larger species Moenkhausia oligolepsis, and they may be found in schools together. Both are attractive schooling fish and are fairly robust. Because they are schooling fish they are best kept in groups of at least 6 fish. Red Eye Tetras are generally peaceful fish, and can be kept with most community species. They will accept most flake and small granular food as well as the occasional frozen brine shrimp or blood worms. Feeding frozen foods occasionally will help promote their best health and color. They can adapt to a variety of water conditions, but prefer slightly acidic water. They make good candidates for the planted tank.
