Tetragonopterus argenteus CareSheet

Tetragonopterus argenteus is a bigger growing characin found across most of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, however it is quite rare in the aquarium hobby. These tetras are an excellent dither fish for medium-sized South American Cichlids due to their size and assertive temperament. Because they are easily disturbed and inclined to leap out if given the chance, their tank should be kept closely covered.
