The Pristella Tetra is thought to be relatively closely related to the Megalamphodus - the Phantom tetras. Also known as X-Ray tetras because of their transparent body which is nicely offset by a red tail and black and white tips on the dorsal and anal fins. Pristella tetras accept a wide variety of fish food, but also relish the occasional feeding of small live or frozen foods. One of the hardier tetras, this schooling fish is an ideal community fish for the beginner. Grows to about 4.5cm.
