Care Guides

The Loreto Tetra (Hyphessobrycon loretoensis) is a small and peaceful Amazonian schooling fish prized by aquarists who enjoy uncommon tetra species. Native to blackwater tributaries of Peru’s Loreto region, this subtle but elegant fish thrives in planted aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water and plenty of cover. Its calm temperament and compatibility with other small community fish make it an excellent choice for natural-style aquariums.
