Penguin Tetra - 4cm (Thayeria boehlkei) (Live Fish)

Penguin Tetras are peaceful, schooling fish admired for their sleek silver bodies accented with black “penguin-like” markings along the lower half and subtle hints of red on their fins. Their energetic yet calm swimming style makes them a striking addition to planted and community aquariums, where their contrasting colours stand out beautifully.

Best kept in schools, Penguin Tetras thrive in mature, well-established aquariums with gentle water flow, open swimming areas, and ample plant cover. Their social and peaceful nature is best showcased when kept in groups, creating a dynamic and harmonious community.
