Just saying - Black Phantoms are OK!

[Bradders]

I have kept a few fish species in my life, but I was not expecting to fall in love with the Black Phantom Tetras!

They are a mixed bag in personality (defo queens/kings in a group), but the females are lovely to look at with their more bulbous figures and shock of red in the fin.

The one in the middle of the camera shot is "the Queen". Keeps everyone in check and is also the most fearless with me.

Awesome little fish.

Also a fan, but never kept them. I plan on keeping some in my 45cm cube, so glad to hear it!

No arguments here. Lovely looking fish. ❤️

What’s their full grown size?

Well, I think the "queen" is about 1.75 inches. The other females are perfectly formed but not as big -and I am not sure they will grow more for some reason. She seems like an exceptionally formed beauty for some reason!

@Bradders - I recommend fruit flies or floating bugs so they feed off the surface. It's a total spectacle.
