Golden Pristella Tetra (Pristella maxillaris "Golden")
The Golden Pristella Tetra is a vibrant, eye-catching variant of the classic Pristella Tetra. Its body glows with a brilliant golden hue, contrasted beautifully by its signature tricolored fins—yellow, black, and white on the dorsal and anal fins, and a clear tail. Hardy and peaceful, this tetra is perfect for beginners and community tank setups. Golden Pristellas are active schoolers and really come to life when kept in groups, adding constant movement and color to planted or mixed aquariums.
