Bleeding Heart Tetra
by Efren Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:36 am
Common Name(s): Bleeding Heart Tetra
Scientific Name: Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma
Family: Characidae
Origin: Peru (South America)
Maximum Size: Up to 7.5cm (3")
Minimum Tank Size: 15 gallons (recommended due to shoal numbers)
Life Span: Around 5 years
Care:
A lovely, peaceful mid-dwelling community fish. They prefer soft acidic water but can adapt to a range of conditions. I kept mine in a pH of 7.6 with a gH of 16.
They prefer groups of 6 or more and appreciate a tank with real plants.
Healthy adults display beautiful vibrant colour with a prominant "red heart".
Feeding:
Undemanding Omnivores. They will eat mostly anything presented in the form of flakes, crisps, granules, sinking tablets, frozen (thawed) and live foods.
Tank mates:
Due to their peaceful nature, they would do best in a tank with similar sized peaceful fish.
Breeding:
The are egg-layers, but do not breeding in captivity. Reported (successful) cases are very rare.
