Yellow Congo Tetra (Alestopetersius caudalis)

Remarks: Yellow Congo Tetras (Alestopetersius caudalis) come from West Africa. Females remain mostly olive-green in color, but males receive shiny blue backs, white edges of their dorsal and ventral fins, and a bright yellow tail with a black stripe in the middle, bordered by a small amount of white. Because of their size, they can be housed with larger cichlids like Severums, Angelfish, and Chocolate Cichlids, as well as smaller species like Apistogramma or Pelvicachromis. They will appreciate darker, tannin-stained water but are perfectly happy in well-lit environments as well. They can tolerate a wide range of pH values.  Scientific Name: Alestopetersius caudalis Common Name: Yellow Congo Tetra Max Size: 3.5" pH: 6.0-7.5 Hardness: Soft Temperature: 70-82° Aggressiveness: Peaceful Region of Origin: West Africa Captive Bred or Wild: Captive Bred Diet: Small flake or pellet, small frozen or live foods Compatibility: Similarly sized schooling fish, dwarf cichlids, large peaceful West Af
