Red phantom tetras are colorful fish with red-tipped fins that dilute to an orangey hue. Their bodies are a translucent bronze color, and they have a black spot on either side of their gill plates. These fish have stocky and compact bodies and reach a fully grown size of 3 cm. Sometimes called red tetras, they are bright and cheerful fish. However, they’re timid and don’t cope well with aggressive or predatory tank mates.
