The Black Widow Tetra is an extremely under-rated schooling fish for aquariums. They are often overlooked because of the monotone colouration but their simplicity and unique body shape along with their phenomenal schooling behaviour is something which is only truly appreciated when kept. Black widow tetras have a characteristic coin like body shape which makes them look similar to the larger growing silver dollar species of pacu.

The little charactersI received my 6 Black Widow tetras a week ago, they came at about 2 cm in length, washed out, after a long trip to the WA it took a couple of days to settle in with their new tank mates, they are little characters, they provide a lot of entertainment as they follow each other around the tank, and have coloured up nicely with their black and white colours. And have started coming up to the glass to see what I am up to as I walk past, a welcome addition to the community itself.

Settled in so quickly!!I received 5 of these today to go with my last remaining BW tetra, immediately they all started shoaling with her. She is a little smaller than the rest, but they joined her so fast. No hiding, just straight to her!!! Love them.

Community FishI added 7 Black Widow Tetras to my 200gallon tank with silver sharks and threadfin acara and they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, they just like to swim around together.

Simply StunningThis tetra has to be one of my top 5 community fish to get!
From the superb black coloration to the stunning gray and silver that sparkles when the light hits on the right angle,I highly doubt you will regret your purchase.
(I recommend a big school of 10)
Hats off to you LiveFishPosted on

Good all roundOrdered 5 the as expected very very pale on arrival, coloured up nicely once released into my tank, only issue I have is they seem to hide behind plants, hoping they will come out as they settle in more.

Excellent community fishOrdered two of these fish. Arrived safely with the rest of my order. Good condition and are great little fish. Schooling well with our other tetras. Colour a little pale but I'm sure they will brighten up in time. Wonderful to watch. Pleased with my purchase. Thanks Livefish!
