The Buenos Aires Tetra is a robust and highly active species with silver colouration accented by orange-red highlights. Its hardiness makes it an excellent beginner fish, though it is known to nibble soft-leaved plants. Best kept in groups, it is confident and outgoing, growing to about 3 inches (7.5 cm) and pairing well with similarly active tankmates.
