Diamond Tetra

If you’re looking for a peaceful community fish that can cohabitate with others, the diamond tetra is an excellent choice! A schooling fish, diamond tetras prefer to stay with a small group.

Interestingly enough, they like odd-numbered social groups. At the very least, keep three fish together. However, five or seven is even better!

These fish will group up throughout the day to explore the tank and scavenge for food. You might see some playful fighting here and there, but aggression is usually not something you have to worry about with diamond tetras.
