Meet the stunning White Widow Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), a captivating addition to any aquarium. Originating from South America, these tetras boast striking white fin tips against a sleek black body, creating a mesmerizing contrast.

Feeding these tetras is a breeze as they readily accept various foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp. Their omnivorous nature allows for a diverse diet.

In community tanks, White Widow Tetras thrive alongside peaceful companions such as other tetras, rasboras, and peaceful bottom-dwellers like Corydoras catfish. Their mild temperament makes them excellent community members, although they may display occasional playful chasing among themselves.

Ideal for aquarists of all experience levels, these tetras are generally easy to care for, requiring a well-established tank with stable water parameters. Aim for temperatures between 72-78°F (22-26°C), a pH range of 6.0-7.5, and moderately soft to slightly hard water.

With their beauty and peaceful demeanor, White Widow Tetras bring elegance and vibrancy to any aquarium, delighting both novice and seasoned hobbyists alike.
