Silvertip Tetra

Hasemania nana

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • Stunning in planted tanks
  • Peaceful community fish

Silvertip Tetras (Hasemania nana) are lively schooling fish with metallic color and distinct pale fin tips. They are more active than many small community tetras.

A proper group and enough swimming room help reduce chasing and fin-focused behavior.

Care Notes

Give Silvertips plenty of swimming room and keep them in a proper group. Their activity level is higher than many common tetras.

Avoid slow, long-finned tank mates and feed a varied omnivorous diet.

Metallic Fin Highlights

02

Active Schooling Display

A proper group creates constant movement in the mid-water.

03

Best With Active Community Fish

They suit similarly active peaceful tank mates better than delicate long-finned species.

Build a Better Aquarium

Plants That Pair Perfectly

Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.

Add live plants to create cover, improve water quality, and build a healthier aquarium for your fish.
