In the aquarium, it appreciates a mature planted setup with cover, shaded areas and open midwater swimming room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1k4fj4a\" data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003eAppearance \u0026amp; Adult Size:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"2326\"\u003ePeugeot Tetras are small, slender-bodied characins with a reddish to rosy body colour that becomes stronger when the fish are settled and kept in a group. Mature males are especially attractive, developing more intense colour and a noticeably elongated, filament-like dorsal fin. FishBase notes that mature males can be distinguished by a conspicuously elongated filamentous dorsal fin and that the species shows an overall red colour when alive. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2328\" data-end=\"2564\"\u003eAdults usually reach around \u003cstrong data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003e3.5–4 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, with Fishkeeper listing a maximum size of \u003cstrong data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2420\"\u003e4 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It works well with fine-leaved plants, floating plants, wood, botanicals and darker substrate, all of which help the colour stand out. Avoid harsh lighting without cover, very boisterous tank mates or unstable new aquariums. A calm, well-maintained setup will show this species at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1jzuw08\" data-start=\"3008\" data-end=\"3037\"\u003eRecommended Aquarium Size:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3306\"\u003eA practical minimum is \u003cstrong data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3092\"\u003e70 litres for a small group\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong data-start=\"3099\" data-end=\"3124\"\u003e90–120 litres or more\u003c\/strong\u003e recommended for a larger shoal and better male display behaviour.

Offer quality fine flakes, micro pellets and small soft granules as the staple, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as daphnia, cyclops, brineshrimp, bloodworm and mosquito larvae. Small foods are best, as this is a relatively small tetra. A varied diet helps maintain colour, fin condition and breeding readiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"2vr35r\" data-start=\"4844\" data-end=\"4873\"\u003eBehaviour in the Aquarium:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4874\" data-end=\"5266\"\u003eThis species usually occupies the middle levels of the aquarium, moving in a loose shoal and displaying more naturally when kept in numbers. Males may show off their elongated dorsal fins and stronger red colour to one another, especially in planted areas with open display space. It is active but not aggressive, making it well suited to peaceful aquascapes and specialist tetra collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"gyou4p\" data-start=\"5268\" data-end=\"5282\"\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5283\" data-end=\"5671\"\u003eAdd only to a cycled, mature aquarium with stable water quality. Use plants, wood and subdued areas to reduce stress and bring out the red tones. Do not keep singly or in pairs, as small numbers may become shy and washed out. Keep nitrate low with regular maintenance, and avoid mixing with fish that nip extended fins. A secure lid is recommended, as small tetras can jump when startled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"iot6fl\" data-start=\"5673\" data-end=\"5692\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5693\" data-end=\"5717\"\u003eBeginner to intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1c7763y\" data-start=\"5719\" data-end=\"5735\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5736\" data-end=\"5804\"\u003eOccasional \/ Rare \/ Specialist import or captive-bred when available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1x39ni3\" data-start=\"5806\" data-end=\"5826\"\u003eImage Disclaimer:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5827\" data-end=\"6022\"\u003eAll images are a visual representation of the fish you will receive, made to be as accurate as possible.
