The Red Phantom Tetra are vibrant and active. I kept them in a planted tank with other peaceful fish and they swim together in a coordinated school. They seem healthy and show good color after a few days. Easy to care for and fit well in the setup.

I bought a group of six and they’ve been thriving. They don’t stress other fish and add a lot of movement. The schooling behavior is natural and pleasing to watch. I appreciate the quarantine and water conditioning.

Great addition to my community tank. The fish are active, colorful, and stay calm around plants. They’ve been in the tank for two months and still look bright and energetic.
