Obliqua Penguin Tetra (Thayeria obliqua)

$9.99

The Obliqua Penguin Tetra (Thayeria obliqua) is a spectacular medium sized schooling fish found in the streams of the Rio Nanay in Peru. These tetras are the “original” Penguin Tetra, however Thayeria boehlkei has taken over this common name in the hobby. Like most medium sized tetras, they’re a peaceful, loosely schooling fish best kept in groups of 8 or more. Subdued lighting, warm temperatures (80F ) and soft, slightly acidic water will help these fish feel most comfortable in the aquarium.
