Appearance

This species’ appearance is in its name! The most recognizable characteristic of this fish is its signature red eyes. Interestingly enough, only the top portion of the iris is red-colored. The rest is gray, matching the color of the body.

The heterochromatic nature of the eye is captivating, adding to the fish’s distinct look.

Average Red Eye Tetra Size

Red eye tetras are on the smaller end of the size spectrum. The average red eye tetra size is around 2.75 inches in length for adults. This measurement is from the tip of the tail to the snout.

Water Parameters

The best part of red eye tetra care is that these fish have relatively lax water requirements. While some other freshwater fish are sensitive to minute changes in water conditions, that’s not the case with these tetras. They’re adaptable to standard tropical tank setups.

As a result, you don’t have to spend a ton of time ensuring that pH levels, temperatures, and hardness readings are in a precise range. As long as you stick close to the following parameters, you should be good to go!

Water temperature: 72°F to 84°F (Around 79 or 80 degrees is ideal)
pH levels: 5.5 to 8.5 (Stay close to 7.0 neutral)
Water hardness: 4 to 8 KH
