Preferred Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 23-26 degrees celsius
- pH Level: 6.0-7.5
- General Hardness: Soft
Range: Congo basin, Africa
Reproduction: Egg-scatterer among plants, needs soft water. Fry initially require very small foods.
Feeding: Omnivorous. Eats all normal foods, appreciates regular feedings of live or frozen foods.
Additional Comments: Schooling fish. Grows larger than most commonly kept Tetras, but quite peaceful. Males are brighter coloured and develop ragged-edged fin extensions. Their reflective body colouring is more pronounced if the tank gets some side lighting. The Albino Congo is one of the nicer albino strains of aquarium fish, developing beautiful pastel colours.
