What is the ideal number to keep together?
Black Widow Tetras are a shoaling species and are best kept in large numbers. For best results we recommend keeping at least 6 in a shoal - the more the happier they will be.

What water conditions do they require?

What should you feed them?
Black Widow Tetra should be fed a variety of flake, frozen, freeze dried and live foods for a varied diet. Being omnivores they will happily accept a wide range of foods.

How compatible are they with other fish?
Black Widow Tetra are peaceful community fish and are generally accepted by a wide range of tank mates. Please see the compatibility chart below for more information.

Can they be bred in captivity?
Males are noticeably slimmer than the female, and have pointed dorsal and anal fins. Like most Tetra they are not parental so may eat spawned eggs, however, they are not difficult to breed, but will require a separate tank to raise fry.
