Ornate Rosy Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus “Ornate”)
The Ornate Rosy Tetra is a charming and colorful variant of the classic Rosy Tetra, known for its glowing pinkish-red body, shimmering scales, and elaborately patterned fins. This peaceful schooling fish adds both elegance and liveliness to community aquariums. With delicate extensions on their dorsal and caudal fins and a touch of white or black edging, they bring a refined look to planted tanks. Ornate Rosy Tetras thrive in groups and show their best colors and natural behavior when kept in schools of six or more.
