Colombian Blue Tetra

The Colombian Blue Tetra is a medium-sized, active tetra famous for its deep metallic blue body and red fins. Slightly bolder than nano tetras, it looks stunning in planted community aquariums when kept in proper groups.

Here are your clear, shop-ready answers:

✅ Schooling fish: YES

• Keep in 6–8+ groups to reduce chasing and bring out stronger color.

✅ Community fish: YES (with suitable tankmates)

• Peaceful but energetic — best with medium, calm community fish. Avoid very tiny or slow species.

⚠️ Shrimp safe: NO (generally)

• Adult shrimp may survive with heavy cover
• Shrimplets will almost certainly be eaten
  👉 Larger mouth and more predatory than small tetras.
