The Hyphessobrycon red, known for its vibrant red coloring, is a popular choice for aquariums. They are schooling fish that thrive in groups of at least six, and are generally peaceful, though they may display fin-nipping tendencies. Due to their active nature, a spacious tank with plenty of swimming room and live plants is ideal.
