About the Fish
The Flame Tetra (Hyphessobrycon flammeus), is a small, vibrant freshwater fish. They are a popular choice among aquarists due to their striking appearance, calm temperament, and adaptability. Their bodies are slightly compressed and elongated with a shiny silver-yellow abdominal colouring that transitions into fiery red hues along their sides and back. The intensity of colour varies depending on factors such as stress, environment, and breeding conditions.
Flame Tetras are hardy, peaceful, schooling fish that thrive in groups of six or more. They are active swimmers but prefer calm environments with minimal currents. Their timid nature makes them prone to stress when housed with aggressive or fast-moving tank mates.
Flame Tetras are native to slow-moving coastal creeks, tributaries, and backwaters in southeastern Brazil, particularly in the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo regions. These habitats are characterized by shallow waters with sandy substrates, submerged vegetation, and clear to brownish water. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and pollution have significantly reduced wild populations, leading to their inclusion on threatened species lists since 2004.
