RUMMY NOSE TETRA 25 pack

🔴 Rummy Nose Tetra – Schooling Precision with a Flash of Red

The Rummy Nose Tetra is a small, peaceful, and vibrant schooling fish known for its bright red facial mask, crystal-clear body, and bold black-and-white tail stripes. These sleek swimmers are prized in aquascaping and planted tanks for their cohesive schooling behavior, which creates a mesmerizing “shoal effect” unmatched by most other species.

Native to the Amazon and Orinoco River basins, Rummy Nose Tetras thrive in soft, warm waters and make the perfect mid-water addition to peaceful community setups. Their red nose acts as a health indicator—fading when stressed, and glowing brilliantly in top condition—making them both beautiful and sensitive barometers for water quality.
