Description
Longfin Serpae Tetra - (10 Pack) 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks : Serpae Tetras are a medium sized tetra with bright red bodies and black dorsal fins. Occasionally their ventral and anal fins get white tips that provide great contrast. Being a shoaling species, they should be kept in groups of six or more. They can be somewhat nippy towards others, especially slow-moving species or long-finned species, so care should be taken when choosing tank-mates. These fish were selectively bred over many generations to have long, flowing fins. The scientific name for the serpae tetra used to be Hyphessobryon eques . However, it was reclassified as Megalamphodus eques after the completion of an intensive phylogenic study on species in the family Characidae. Many other species were reclassified as well as a result of this study which can be read here: https. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
