Overview
The Bentosi Tetra, also known as the Ornate Tetra, boasts a striking silvery-pinkish body with distinctive dark red markings and elegant white tips on its dorsal and pelvic fins. Males typically exhibit more intense coloration and longer fins. These peaceful and active fish thrive in groups, displaying fascinating natural schooling behaviors that bring life to the mid-water levels of your aquarium.

Care Level
The Bentosi Tetra is considered a moderate care level fish, suitable for aquarists with some experience. They are highly social and compatible with a variety of other peaceful community fish, including dwarf cichlids and catfish. For optimal well-being, always maintain them in a group of at least six individuals to encourage natural behavior and reduce stress.

Tank Essentials
A minimum tank size of 60 litres is recommended for a healthy group of Bentosi Tetras, though larger is always beneficial. They prefer stable water parameters: a pH range of 6.0–7.5 and a temperature between 24–28°C. Provide dense planting around the edges, driftwood, and open swimming areas to mimic their natural habitat.

Diet
As omnivores, Bentosi Tetras thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality flake or micro-pellet foods, supplemented regularly with live or frozen options like bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp to ensure optimal nutrition and enhance their vibrant colours.
