Sharing is caring!

Of the many varieties of tetras, the Congo tetra is perhaps the most overlooked when it comes to the aquarium. These beautiful little fishes have luminescent colors all across their body and make a spectacular sight swimming in a large shoal in any community tank. Many people don’t consider or even notice these fish in fish stores, as they are generally sold as juveniles and lack the spectacular coloration of adults.

In this guide, we take a closer look at this pretty fish species and explain how they must be cared for if they are to thrive in the home aquarium.

The Congo tetra, scientific name, Phenacogrammus interruptus was discovered by Boulenger in 1899. This freshwater fish species is native to Africa, specifically the Zaire River area in the upper Congo Basin, hence the fishes’ common name.
