Flowing, elongated fins — especially in mature males — add real drama to a school in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its larger adult size, this species needs more swimming room and a bigger tank footprint than the smaller tetras, but its temperament remains thoroughly peaceful and easy-going. A shoal of Congo Tetras makes a genuine centrepiece display in a larger, well-established community aquarium, and their gentle nature means they mix calmly with other similarly-sized peaceful fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eSpecies Snapshot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize Sold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juvenile, 3-4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 L minimum, keep in a group of 6 or more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful, gentle giant of the tetra world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23-26°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0-7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eIdeal Habitat and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide a tank of at least 100 L minimum with plenty of cover and open swimming space, matching the temperament and schooling needs described above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23-26°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0-7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weekly partial water changes; needs stable water quality given its larger bioload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA larger appetite than most tetras, but still an easy-going omnivore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality flake or pellet as a daily base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen daphnia for variety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen bloodworm for extra protein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen brine shrimp as an occasional treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts size and gentle nature make it a striking centrepiece for larger peaceful community tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable tankmates include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther peaceful, similarly-sized community fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger tetras and barbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorydoras and other bottom dwellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid fin-nippers, which target its long flowing fins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From N8 Aquatics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarefully raised aquarium fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy, well-conditioned stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong genetics and vibrant colouration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreeder support if you have questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003ePickup Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN8 Aquatics currently operates as a local pickup-only breeder in Central Queensland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are collected by appointment after purchase confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease ensure you are able to collect your fish before placing an order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eImportant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll livestock sold by N8 Aquatics should be introduced to fully cycled aquariums suitable for the species being kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease ensure your aquarium setup and tankmates are appropriate before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"N8 Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":47863554211945,"sku":"PISCES-22051","price":11.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9520\/1897\/files\/4cm_Congo_Tetra_1da61eb7-98d7-466c-83ce-aea338f93bd2.jpg?v=1785898050","url":"https:\/\/n8aquatics.com\/products\/congo-tetra","provider":"N8 Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
