Reproducción
Rummy-nose tetras are egg layers that spawn in soft, slightly acidic water. To breed them, provide a separate breeding tank with dim lighting and fine-leaf plants for egg deposition. Once eggs are laid, remove adults to prevent them from eating the eggs. Fry should be fed infusoria initially.
Dieta
Rummy-nose tetras are omnivores, feeding on a variety of small live, frozen, or flake foods. Their diet includes brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms, and high-quality flakes or pellets. A varied diet ensures vibrant colors and good health.
