Keep ten or more; small groups become nippy and stressed. It tolerates unheated rooms and is one of the hardiest tetras available. Egg scattering spawns are possible in a dim tank with a mesh base; females are plumper than males. A tough, active fish for a lively tank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimsTF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64680664727929,"sku":"STF-TETRA-BUENOS-AIRES","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/3124\/4153\/files\/STF-TETRA-BUENOS-AIRES.png?v=1790096847","url":"https:\/\/birchwoodaquatics.myshopify.com\/products\/buenos-aires-hyphessobrycon-anisitsi-2cm","provider":"Birchwood Aquatic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
