The Red Laser Tetra, scientifically known as Hyphessobrycon amandae, is a small, strikingly colorful freshwater fish. Native to the slow-moving rivers and tributaries of the Amazon Basin, this species is highly sought after by aquarium enthusiasts for its vibrant red hue and peaceful demeanor. Red Laser Tetras thrive in well-planted tanks with soft, slightly acidic water, making them a perfect fit for community aquariums. These fish are active swimmers, often seen schooling in the mid-levels of the tank, and they benefit from a varied diet of high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods.
