Silver Tip Tetra

Remarks: Silver Tip Tetras (Hasemania nana) are an ever-popular species from South America for their bright color and peaceful nature. Males are golden-orange with a black spot on the caudal peduncle. Females are typically golden and not as brightly colored, but still stand out among plants and driftwood. Both sexes have white tips on the corners of the caudal, anal, and dorsal fins, earning them their common name.
