John Toledano - 2006-05-13 I am an aquarist in Rio de Janeiro and very sadly this little beauty is almost extinct here. It's the only endemic species of the State of Rio de Janeiro and due to insertion of other species and predatorial fishing, we no longer see them any more. There is currently a research program in one of our universities trying to repopulate some streams and rivers. Thank you. John Toledano

Shannon - 2012-03-04 Sometimes you just get a mean fish, but my best suggestion would be to get at least 2 more. They are happiest and most comfortable in a group of 6 or more. They may be feeling insecure, and therefore being more territorial than necessary.

Rachel - 2006-10-01 I love these guys! I have a few, one of which is almost 2 years old. He's the oldest in my tank! They're the perfect size; not too big, not too small. Their color is subtle yet stunning. :D
chris - 2005-09-05 I have 2 flame tetras and they have been the most hardy fish I've owned. They've outlasted just about any other fish in my aquarium and add a nice touch with there bright red coloring.
The Flame Tetra, as its name suggests, has a very beautiful, fiery red coloring when it's happy!

I just got one today and he is already gaining more and more color and they really are such pretty fish!
Awesome
I agree, they are very beautiful additions to almost any community aquarium!
Wow, I didn't know these were extinct. I usually feed them to my fish, I better use a new fish now. ...or almost extinct.

I have 2 Von Rio tetra and they are the bright fish in my tank!
I bought 6 flame tetras today, they are still adjusting to their environment, but are really beautifull.
