The Congo Tetra Fish

The colorful Congo Tetra is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for freshwater fish that is native to the tributaries, streams, and pools of the Congo River Basin in Central Africa. These fish love to congregate in large groups among tall vegetation and prefer murky water with a sandy substrate. While they are easy to care for, Congo Tetras are schooling fish that need to live in fairly large groups to feel safe. Since they are peaceful fish, they are best kept with other peaceful fish as tank mates.
