Adorable Congo Tetras for sale| Premium Iridescent Rainbow Characin

Shimmering Rainbows in Motion

A masterpiece of natural light. The Adorable Congo Tetras for sale is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful freshwater fish in existence. Unlike standard tetras, the Congo features large, metallic scales that create a “prismatic” effect, shifting between shades of orange, gold, and electric blue as they swim. As males mature, they develop spectacular, long, feathery white edges on their fins, giving them a regal, flowing appearance.

Approximate size: 2″

Why Buy Congo Tetras from Fish R Us?

• Prismatic Scale Quality: We source specimens with high-reflectivity scales, ensuring that under aquarium lighting, your school looks like a moving rainbow.

• Large, Robust Schoolers: Reaching up to 3–3.5 inches, these are substantial fish that won’t get “lost” in a large tank, making them a perfect companion for medium-sized community fish.

• Planted Tank Harmony: Their colors look breathtaking against a lush green backdrop. They are peaceful inhabitants that add movement and life without bothering smaller tankmates.

• Superior Conditioning: Congo Tetras can be sensitive to shipping if not handled correctly. At Fish R Us, we use specialized stress-reducing techniques and high-oxygen packing to ensure they arrive in “showroom” condition.

Specifications:

• Max Growth Size: 3″ – 3.5″

• Temperament: Peaceful; Active Schooler

• Ideal School Size: 6 or more (The more you have, the more confident and colorful they become!)

• Diet: Omnivore (High-quality flakes, floating pellets, and frozen bloodworms)

Tip: To maintain their metallic sheen and support those long, flowing fins, a high-protein diet is a must. We recommend our Fish R Us Premium Growth Pellets (crushed slightly for juveniles) and regular feedings of our Premium Spirulina Superfood Pellets to enhance their natural blues and greens.

Hint: These are the perfect companions for your Synodontis Eupterus or Albino Bushynose Plecos. Link them as “Compatible Tank Mates” to build a complete African-themed community.
