Widow Pink Color Tetra | Single

The Pink Color Widow Tetra is a vibrant and visually striking freshwater fish, known for its soft, rosy hue that adds a touch of elegance to any aquarium. This fish is a selectively bred variant of the Black Widow Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), showcasing a beautiful pink coloration that makes it a standout feature in any tank.

When kept as a pair, Pink Widow Tetras display their natural social behaviors, often swimming in close proximity to each other and interacting gracefully within their environment. This pair dynamic enhances their beauty and brings a lively, dynamic element to the aquarium.

Pink Widow Tetras typically grow to about 1.5 to 2 inches in length. Their bodies are slightly rounded with translucent fins that often exhibit a slight tint matching their pink coloration. The soft pink hue of these tetras creates a gentle, calming aesthetic, especially when paired with the natural green tones of a well-planted aquarium.

These tetras are known for their peaceful temperament, making them an ideal choice for community tanks. They are active swimmers, often found darting around the mid-level of the tank, exploring their surroundings with curiosity. In a well-planted tank, they feel secure and are more likely to exhibit their natural behaviors, including their social interactions with one another.

Pink Widow Tetras thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 and a temperature range of 72 to 82°F (22 to 28°C). They appreciate a tank environment that includes plenty of plants and hiding spots, as these elements mimic their natural habitat and help reduce stress.

Feeding Pink Widow Tetras is straightforward, as they are omnivores with a hearty appetite. They will readily accept a variety of foods, including high-quality flake food, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Providing a balanced diet will help maintain their vibrant pink coloration and overall health.
