An exceptionally beautiful African tetra, the Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) is a relatively peaceful fish endemic to the Congo River Basin. Their rainbow iridescence and long, flowing fins make them a prized community fish among freshwater hobbyists. While not required, this tetra tends to prefer planted tanks with dimmer lighting that imitates its natural environment.
The line bred Albino form is a vivid pearly white and gold while still displaying the characteristic iridescence. This species will be most comfortable and display its best coloration in schools of 5 or more, making a beautiful centerpiece group of fish for a medium to large aquarium.
