Description: These are the albino variant of the very popular Congo Tetra. This fish originates from river basins along the Congo River in Africa, unlike most tetras that are found in South America. They exhibit long, wispy fins and a bright orange stripe across their body, along with red eyes. The Albino Congo Tetras are a fast-moving schooling fish that add a ton of action to any semi-aggressive community tank. It is recommended to keep these tetras in groups of 6 or more, as they feel more secure in a school. They need at least 3 feet of swimming space, so a tank 30-gallons or larger is recommended.
