Its name \"Pencil Tetra\" comes from its narrow, pencil-like shape. Males typically have a subtle red coloration along the body, with bright orange or red hues on their fins. These fish are calm and social, thriving in schools. Their delicate appearance and shy nature make them ideal for well-planted aquariums, where they can retreat to hideouts and school together in peace. Perfect for aquariums with small, non-aggressive tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"635\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"939\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"690\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"690\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"659\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful community aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"727\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"727\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"715\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"762\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"762\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"752\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"778\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"831\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"831\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"819\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 or more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"916\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"916\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"852\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; compatible with other small, non-aggressive species\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"939\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"939\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"932\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
