Red Phantom Tetra

The Red Phantom Tetra is currently accepted as Megalamphodus sweglesi, also familiar as Hyphessobrycon sweglesi. Its native distribution is in the Orinoco basin of Colombia and Venezuela; the catalogue stock is tank bred.

This listing supplies 2.3–2.5 cm, 2.6–2.8 cm and 3.5 cm grades. Each has a different minimum and packing density. Specialist husbandry references describe adults around 3.5 cm standard length; that measurement excludes the tail and does not define the source catalogue’s size convention.

Maintain a group of at least 8–10 with peaceful fish of similar size. Use shaded planted areas or woody shelter. Published husbandry guidance gives 20–28°C and pH 4.5–7.5; avoid abrupt changes and match initial acclimation to the supplier’s holding water. Offer varied, small dry foods with suitable live or frozen supplements.
