Hyphessobrycon columbianus

About me: Hello, I am a red blue colombian tetra. I am very greedy and therefore you should take care that I don't eat the food of the other fishes - this makes me unnecessarily rounder than I already look after eating. Preferably you should keep me in a slightly darkened aquarium, for example with floating plants, as well as with a dark bottom.
