The Rummynose Tetra originates from South America. It is
also known by the common name of the Firehead Tetra. The Rummynose has a
distinctive bright red area around its “nose” and over its eyes. The rest of
the body is a silver/gold color. The caudal fin has horizontal black and white
stripes. The red nose will disappear when the fish is stressed. Rummynose are
not a good beginners fish. They are susceptible to disease and suffer from poor
water quality. Rummynose are very active and enjoy schooling in the mid levels
of a tank. They should be kept in groups of at least 6. A well planted tank
with low light levels is recommended. Rummynose eat quality flake foods,
spirulina flakes, freeze dried bloodworms and live foods, such as brine shrimp.
