Collected from the Orinoco River basin in Colombia and Venezuela, these fish display an intensity of red colouration that tank-bred specimens rarely match — vivid, almost glowing, with a bold black patch behind the gills and deep red fins that shimmer as they move through the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSmall but full of personality, they are lively, active swimmers that look absolutely spectacular in a well-planted aquascape, especially in a large school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Wild Caught?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWild-caught fish carry the full expression of their natural colouration, shaped by the tannin-stained blackwater rivers they come from.

A planted tank with gentle filtration, driftwood, and leaf litter will help them settle in quickly and display their best colouration.
