Rummynose Tetra - (3 Pack) 0.5-1" Unsexed Captive Bred Indonesia. Remarks : This particular rummynose tetra was formerly classified as Hemigrammus bleheri , but recent analysis resulted in them being reclassified as Petitella bleheri . All three species of rummynose tetras sport bright red faces and a flagtail pattern on their caudal fin, but this particular species shows the most red on the face with the color extending past the gill plate. This has made them the most desirable of the three species and is the one most commonly bred in captivity. In the wild, this coloration helps with predation as their red heads blend into the reddish-brown water so a predator is more like to go for their tails instead. A bite to the tail is far less serious than a bite to the head! Rummynose tetras are native to blackwater habitats in the Rio Negro and Rio Meta within.
