Introducing New Fish
Diamond Tetra
Diamond Tetras have derived their name from the exquisite shine their bodies look. Like a diamond, these fishes are a real gem for both new and experienced fish owners.
With the scientific name of Moenkhausia pittieri, the diamond tetra is a freshwater fish coming from the characin family (Characidae). They are known to have originated from the waters of Lake Valencia in Venezuela, South America.
Like any beautiful tetra fish, the diamonds are also small, and have a distinct appearance that makes them an instant favorite in any aesthetic aquarium!
The diamond tetras have a small frame like most of their notorious tetra families. Our main tetra fish has gained popularity because of the way its scales shine uniquely than their counterparts.
