Description
The Pinkish Tetra, also known as the Rosy Tetra, is a peaceful and active freshwater fish characterized by its translucent body, often with a pinkish or reddish hue, and reddish fins. They typically display a small black spot on the dorsal fin and sometimes near the caudal peduncle. These schooling fish thrive in planted community aquariums.
