Moenkhausia agnesae

An uncommon, larger growing tetra from Peru’s Rio Itaya, the Redline Moenkhausia is a vividly colored fish that makes for a spectacular display in a medium to large group. In the wild, it is typically found along stream banks close to overhanging vegetation or fallen trees in warm, acidic waters. Hardy and bold, the Redline or Red Striped Moenkhausia is a loosely-schooling fish and makes an ideal tankmate for smaller or medium-sized cichlids.
