Aphyocharax paraguayensis

Aphyocharax paraguayensis is a peaceful schooling fish that thrives in well-planted community tanks. They are active swimmers and require ample space to navigate. Environments that replicate riverine settings, with rock formations and driftwood, can encourage natural behaviors. **Feeding**: This species is not fussy about food and can consume flakes, live or frozen food such as brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms. **Behavior**: Social species that should be kept in groups of at least six to display natural schooling behavior. They are generally cooperative with other non-aggressive tank mates. **Breeding**: Aphyocharax paraguayensis scatter their eggs among plants, and breeding tanks should be slightly warmer with softer water to encourage spawning.
