Description

The Red Eye Buenos Tetra, also known simply as the Red Eye Tetra (Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae), is a hardy and attractive freshwater fish that adds a touch of elegance to any aquarium. This fish is named for its distinctive red spot located just above its eye, which stands out against its otherwise silver body, making it a unique and captivating addition to the tank.

Appearance: The Red Eye Buenos Tetra typically grows to about 2.5 inches in length. Its body is sleek and streamlined, covered in shimmering silver scales that catch the light beautifully as it swims. The most notable feature is the vivid red marking over its eye, which provides a striking contrast to its silvery body. The fins are generally clear, with a subtle yellowish tint that adds to its understated elegance.

Behavior and Compatibility: This tetra is a peaceful and social species, known for its calm demeanor. While it is usually kept in schools, a single Red Eye Buenos Tetra can still thrive in a well-maintained aquarium, particularly if there are other peaceful tank mates to keep it company. It is an active swimmer that prefers the middle and upper levels of the tank, often exploring its surroundings with curiosity and grace.

Ideal Environment: The Red Eye Buenos Tetra is well-suited to a variety of tank setups but thrives best in a planted aquarium. The natural plants not only enhance its colors but also provide hiding spots and a sense of security, which is important for its well-being. This tetra prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 and a temperature range of 72 to 80°F (22 to 27°C). The tank should have plenty of open space for swimming, as well as some shaded areas created by plants or driftwood to mimic its natural habitat.

Diet and Feeding: Feeding the Red Eye Buenos Tetra is straightforward. It is an omnivore with a healthy appetite, accepting a wide range of foods. A diet consisting of high-quality flake foods, small pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms will keep the fish healthy and vibrant. Regular feedings of varied foods will help maintain its beautiful coloration and overall vitality.
