Blind Cave Tetra - 5cm (Astyanax mexicanus) (Live Fish)

Blind Cave Tetras (Astyanax mexicanus) are fascinating freshwater fish known for their lack of functional eyes and excellent adaptation to life in dark cave environments. Hardy, active, and peaceful, they make an unusual and interesting addition to community aquariums.

They thrive in well-filtered aquariums with stable water quality, open swimming areas, and plenty of space to move around. Keep them in groups to encourage natural schooling behaviour and help them feel secure. Feed a varied diet of quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live foods to support healthy growth and condition.

Size, colour, pattern, and appearance may vary.
