Inpaichthys parauapiranga is a newly described species of tetra from the Rio Canamã, a tributary of the Rio Aripuanã basin in Mato Grosso State, Brazil

This species is distinguished by its six red dotted longitudinal stripes on the flanks.
They grow to about 4 cm (1.6 inches) in total length.
These tetras thrive in soft, acidic water conditions typical of their native habitat. They are peaceful and lively, making them suitable for community tanks with other non-aggressive species.

These fish are relatively easy to care for and make a stunning addition to any well-maintained aquarium

The Ruby Tetra is a small, vibrant freshwater fish known for its striking red coloration. Native to the upper Río Meta basin in Colombia, these tetras are a beautiful addition to any aquarium. These tetras are peaceful and do well in community tanks. They are schooling fish and feel most comfortable in groups of six or more

They typically grow to about 1.2 to 1.4 inches (3 to 3.5 cm) in length.
In their natural habitat, Ruby Tetras are found in slow-moving, blackwater environments with plenty of vegetation. In an aquarium, they prefer a setup with a sandy substrate, driftwood, and leaf litter to mimic their natural surroundings. They thrive in water temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F) and a pH range of 4.0 to 6.5

In their natural habitat, Ruby Tetras are found in slow-moving, blackwater environments with plenty of vegetation. In an aquarium, they prefer a setup with a sandy substrate, driftwood, and leaf litter to mimic their natural surroundings. They are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including high-quality flakes, small live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia.
