The Bleeding Heart Tetra (Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma) is a striking freshwater fish known for its distinctive appearance and peaceful nature. This small, vibrant tetra typically grows to about 2.5 inches (6 cm) in length and is easily recognized by the red, heart-shaped spot on its side, giving it its name. The body of the Bleeding Heart Tetra is translucent silver with a subtle pinkish hue, while its fins often display a soft red or orange coloration, adding to its allure.

This fish is native to the slow-moving waters of the Amazon Basin in South America, where it thrives in well-planted, dimly lit environments. In the aquarium, Bleeding Heart Tetras prefer to swim in schools of at least six, as they are social creatures that feel most comfortable in groups. They are peaceful and get along well with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish species, making them a popular choice for community tanks.

The Bleeding Heart Tetra is relatively easy to care for, requiring a tank with stable water conditions, a gentle current, and plenty of hiding spots among plants and decorations. Their diet is omnivorous, consisting of high-quality flake food, small live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia, and occasional vegetable matter.

With their distinctive marking and gentle demeanor, Bleeding Heart Tetras add both beauty and tranquility to any freshwater aquarium.
