Soft Yellow Glow with Peaceful Schooling Behavior
The Yellow Phantom Tetra is a rare and visually subtle variety of the popular Phantom Tetra species, featuring a golden-yellow body with semi-translucent fins and a distinct dark shoulder blotch. Its gentle coloration makes it a beautiful accent fish in planted aquariums, especially when contrasted with darker backgrounds or vibrant tankmates.
These peaceful schooling fish originate from South American waters and are well-suited to community aquariums with other small, non-aggressive species. Their calm nature, ease of care, and unique yellow hue make them a great choice for aquarists looking to diversify their tetra collection.
