Copeland (HY511) Tetra

HY511 is a farm trade code, not a species name, one of those quiet industry practices where Asian breeding operations tag a proprietary color line with a number instead of publishing the cross that made it, partly to protect the line and partly because the parentage genuinely gets muddy after enough generations of selective pairing. Whatever the pedigree, what lands in the tank is a calm, understated tetra that plays support rather than showstopper in a mixed school. Easy care, no drama, just a fish that does its job in a group.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/micro-pellet
