Bleeding Heart Tetra (Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma)

Price range: $3.99 through $4.99

The Bleeding Heart Tetra is an inhabitant of soft, acidic blackwater rivers throughout the middle Amazon, where it is typically found in large shoals. They are named for the distinctive deep red spot found on their ventral surface and the overall bright pink body color adult fish display. A larger species of tetra, they are best kept in groups of 5 or more and make an impressive centerpiece for a medium to large planted aquarium.
