Pristella Terta
22 in stock
Appearance
There’s no way to mistake pristella tetras for another species. These fish are distinct and have several features that make them stand out.
The fish’s main body is silvery and nearly transparent. They still have some identifiable color and sheen, but they’re clear enough to see their organs as they swim. You might see the fish marketed as the x-ray tetra or x-ray pristella tetra thanks to this unique trait.
Beyond the see-through body, the most stand-out feature is the coloration on the fins! The dorsal and anal fins feature three stripes of vibrant yellow, staunch black, and crisp white. The yellow stripe is closest to the body, while the black one is in the middle.
Pristella Tetra Care
Pristella tetra care is very straightforward (as long as you understand their core needs). They’re built to withstand changing conditions, making them a hardy and resilient tank inhabitant.
Water Parameters
In the wild, these fish live exciting lives. Unlike most tetras, x-ray tetras can handle somewhat brackish waters. They come from coastal rivers that aren’t entirely freshwater.
- Water temperature: 64°F to 82°F (aim for around 75 degrees)
- pH levels: 5.8 to 8.5 (Between 6.0 to 7.5 is ideal)
- Water hardness: 4 to 8 KH
