The Rummy Nose Tetra, scientifically known as Hemigrammus rhodostomus, is a small, peaceful freshwater fish prized for its striking appearance and schooling behavior. Native to the clear, slow-moving rivers and tributaries of the Amazon Basin in South America, this species is easily recognized by its vibrant red face and distinct black-and-white striped tail fin. Rummy Nose Tetras are popular among aquarists because of their tight schooling habits and their beautiful, sleek bodies, making them an excellent choice for planted and community aquariums. They typically grow to about 2 inches (5 cm) in length and can live for up to 5-6 years with proper care.

Habitat and Tank Requirements:

In the wild, Rummy Nose Tetras inhabit soft, acidic waters with dense vegetation. To replicate these conditions in a home aquarium, it’s essential to maintain soft, warm water with low to moderate lighting and plenty of plant cover.

Tank Size and Water Parameters:

PARAMETER	RECOMMENDED
Tank Size	Minimum 60 litres
Temperature	75-82°F (24-28°C)
pH	5.5-7.0
Hardness	Soft water, 1-8 dGH

This table provides the recommended water conditions for keeping Rummy Nose Tetras healthy and displaying their vibrant red noses. Stable water conditions are essential, as these tetras are sensitive to fluctuations in water quality.

Rummy Nose Tetras thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of hiding spots, which help them feel secure. Driftwood, smooth rocks, and floating plants can further mimic their natural habitat. A dark substrate enhances their natural colors and creates a visually appealing contrast with their bright red faces. A gentle filter is ideal, as they prefer calm waters with minimal water flow.

We Recommend:

These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.

Behavior and Compatibility:

Rummy Nose Tetras are peaceful, schooling fish that do best in groups of at least 6-10 individuals. When kept in larger schools, they exhibit more natural and active behaviors, often swimming in synchronized movements. These fish are known for their excellent shoaling ability, and when stressed, their red noses can fade—often indicating a problem with water quality or tank conditions.

In community tanks, Rummy Nose Tetras are compatible with other peaceful species such as small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and dwarf gouramis. They should not be housed with aggressive or large fish that might harass or outcompete them.
