🐟 Tetra Fish & Ghost Shrimp Care Guide

Tetras are small, colourful freshwater fish that are popular for community aquariums due to their peaceful nature and schooling behaviour.

Ghost shrimps are amazing at eating algae, making our tanks look great. They work hard to eat the algae, keeping our tanks healthy and balanced. This makes them a vital part of our underwater world.

Note: Fish instincts are to eat anything fits their mouth. Therefore, please consider if you have fish from 3-4cm can attack the shrimp.

📏 Tank Size

Minimum tank: 40–60 litres (10–15 gallons)

Larger tanks are recommended for bigger schools and stability

Long tanks are better than tall ones (they love horizontal swimming)

 

🌡 Water Parameters

Temperature: 22–26°C

pH: 6.0–7.5

Hardness: Soft to moderately hard

Ammonia/Nitrite: 0 ppm

Nitrate: < 20 ppm

⚠️ Stable water conditions are more important than “perfect” numbers.

🧑🤝🧑 Schooling Behaviour

Keep at least 6–10 tetras / ghost shrimp of the same species

Larger schools = better colour, less stress

Mixing different tetra species is fine in bigger tanks

 

🍽 Feeding
