The catalogue uses Hyphessobrycon callistus for this Veiltail Serpae offer. That historical name is a synonym of Megalamphodus eques, the Serpae Tetra. Veiltail denotes the ornamental long-fin form and must not be illustrated with the standard short-fin fish.

Three supplied grades are listed: 2.5 cm, 2.8 cm and 3.0 cm. Their offer codes and minimum quantities differ. The fish are listed as tank bred, separate from the species’ South American native distribution.
Maintain a group of at least 12 with swimming space. Choose robust, similarly sized companions; fin-nipping makes shy or long-finned tankmates unsuitable. Specialist care guidance gives 20–28°C and pH 5.0–7.5. Provide varied small dry, live or frozen foods. Confirm batch water conditions during acclimation.
MBI-TET-039: 2.5 cm, 120 fish per bag, minimum 120 fish and up to 8 bags per box. MBI-TET-040: 2.8 cm, 100 fish per bag, minimum 100 fish and up to 8 bags per box. MBI-TET-041: 3.0 cm, 70 fish per bag, minimum 70 fish and up to 8 bags per box.
Use MBI-TET-039, MBI-TET-040, MBI-TET-041 when requesting this tank-bred offer. Prices are per individual fish. Existing quotation and business terms apply.
