Red Eye tetra

The Red Eye tetra is a small, colorful freshwater fish notable for its vibrant silvery body and distinctive red eyes. Originating from South America, particularly in rivers and streams across Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia, it features a sleek, streamlined shape with a hint of greenish hue on its back. The most striking feature is the red circle around its eyes, alongside a black and white strip at the base of its tail fin. Well-regarded in the aquarium hobby, Red Eye tetras are sought after for their peaceful nature, ease of care, and their ability to add a flash of color and activity to community tanks.
