BLEEDING HEART TETRA (HYPHESSOBRYCON ERYTHROSTIGMA) “BUY 8 GET 1 FREE”

The Bleeding Heart Tetra is a fairly hardy tropical fish and a good one for freshwater fish keepers that practice good aquarium maintenance. They are sought after because they are a very nice looking fish and especially for the small red spot (“heart”) located on the sides.

This is a fairly active fish that should bring lots of activity to your tank if kept in a small school.

Like many tetras, the Bleeding Heart Tetra can be prone to fin nipping fish with larger fins like bettas and angelfish if kept individually. Try to keep 4 or more at a time to help make them feel more secure with their surroundings.

They will accept most tropical fish food including flakes, freeze-dried, frozen and live foods. It’s acceptable to use flakes as their primary diet but try to supplement their diet with frozen or live foods from time to time. Try to get them on a high quality pellet food.
