A remarkably beautiful small tetra known only from the upper Rio Negro and Uapes in Brazil and Colombia, the Tucano or Toucan Tetra was only described as recently as 1997 and remains an uncommon import in the aquarium hobby. In the wild, this fish inhabits shallow, quiet areas of flooded forest in deeply tannin stained, highly acidic waters usually in areas of dense leaf litter substrate and overhanging driftwood or branches. With their high contrast black, gold and reddish coloration, peaceful demeanor, and schooling behavior they make a unique and striking centerpiece for a blackwater, botanical-style or aquascaped aquarium. Best kept in groups of 10 or more fish, they will get along with most other peaceful tankmates but are somewhat shy and may be bullied by larger or more boisterous fish. Aquariums which closely replicate their unique wild habitat and water chemistry will help ensure the Tucano Tetra display their best coloration and behavior.
Wild Tucano Tetras and other fish collected from the upper Rio Negro in Brazil by artisanal fish collectors help support the sustainable aquarium fishery in the region which has been the focus of Project Piaba for over 25 years.

The Gold or Brass Tetra is widespread throughout South America, and is found in a variety of habitat types in the wild, usually in large schools. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable, making a great and vividly colored community fish. Their metallic gold pigmentation is actually caused by a harmless parasite that they are exposed to in the wild, which means that tank or pond raised specimens are usually dull in appearance and lack their namesake gold coloration. Like most small schooling tetras, Gold Tetras are best kept in groups of 10 or more, and will usually school with other similarly sized tetras. Our fish are wild collected, colorful, and carefully acclimated – a great addition to planted or nano aquariums.
