Gold Serpae Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eques)

Same Hyphessobrycon eques genetics and same numbers-dependent temperament as a standard serpae, the fin-nipping settles down once the group is big enough to redirect that energy internally, just carried on a warmer gold base tone instead of the classic deep red. A solid pick for anyone who wants the serpae's active personality in a less saturated color.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive, shoaling · Max size: ~1.75" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
