Blue Congo Tetra
Phenacogrammus interruptus
About me: Hello, I am a blue congo tetra. You should keep me in a shoal of at least 8 animals. Besides a sufficiently large tank it is very important that I have enough free space to swim. I am a very happy swimmer!
Due to my peaceful nature I am well suited for beginners and can therefore also be kept together well with smaller or equally large, calm fish. Generally I also get along with shrimps, but they still do not show up at my friends, because I unfortunately eat them when I am big enough.
