Rare Schooling Aquarium Fish for Planted Aquariums
The Costae Tetra is a beautiful and active schooling aquarium fish prized by aquascapers for its elegant swimming behavior and subtle metallic coloration.
Native to South American freshwater habitats, this peaceful tetra species thrives in planted aquariums and community tanks, where it forms tight schooling groups that create natural movement and life in the aquarium.
In aquascapes, a school of Costae Tetras adds a dynamic visual effect as the fish move together through plants and hardscape, making them an excellent choice for nature-style aquariums inspired by aquascaping layouts from ADA (Aqua Design Amano).
When kept in groups of 6 or more, these fish display their best schooling behavior and vibrant coloration.
