Golden Rummynose Tetra

This is the species most commonly sold as ‘rummy-nose tetra’ in aquatic outlets. A selectively-bred “golden” variant has also been produced by commercial breeders and is available from time-to-time. The natural form is very similar to both the “true” rummy-nose, Hemigrammus rhodostomus and the ‘false’ rummy-nose, Petitella georgiae in appearance.
