− | :Black widow or Skirt tetra is native to Bolivia, Brazil and northern Argentina where it can be found in the middle and upper water layers or river basins. | + | |sexing=:Females are slightly bigger than males and have a larger belly. Males have a wider [[anal]] fin, and a narrower more pointed [[dorsal]] fin. |
− | + | |tank_compatibility=:A peaceful community fish that should be kept in groups of 6 or more. Keep with other peaceful community fish, but nothing with long fins as the Black Widow Tetra may nip, especially if kept in small numbers. | |
− | + | |diet=:Will accept most foods including pellet and flake as well as live/frozen food such as [[bloodworm]] and [[daphnia]]. | |
− | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |
− | :Females are slightly bigger than males and have a larger belly. Males have a wider [[anal]] fin, and a narrower more pointed [[dorsal]] fin. | + | |environment_specifics=:Keep in a spacious tank with hiding places amongst plants as well as open swimming space. The tank should be mature and well filtered but without too much current. Avoid very bright lights. |
− | + | |behaviour=:A peaceful active shoaling fish. | |
− | + | |identification=:Tall, oval-shaped and highly compressed they are noted for their curved anal fin which is quite long. It is almost as long as the entire rear half of the body. Two known true colour variations are available, the most well known being the Black Skirt Tetra which has a silver body colour while the fins are mostly black with two or three vertical bands on the body. The White Skirt Tetra lacks colour and the body is white, almost appearing pink, while the fins are mostly translucent. Long-fin varieties of both colours have been bred but are difficult to keep as they will fin-nip amongst themselves. | |
