Red Line Tetra (Hemigrammus rubrostriatus) - (3 Pack) 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: The red line or red stripe tetra ( Hemigrammus rubrostriatus ) is a rarely imported species originating from the Rio Caño Vitina in Colombia. Only described in 2015 by German ichthyologist, Axel Zarske, these tetras used to only be seen in the hobby as the occasional by-catch, but now they can be specifically imported occasionally. Upon viewing a mature, settled in red line tetra, it is easy to see that they are coveted within the hobby not just for their rarity, but also for their stunning appearance. Red line tetras are often described as larger, more colorful versions of the popular glowlight tetra ( Hemigrammus erythrozonus ). Like their close relative, they sport a bright red upper eye as well as a horizontal stripe of the same color starting at the operculum (gill plate) all.
