Pethia ticto

Pethia ticto is a hardy and colorful fish that adds vibrancy to community aquaria. With its distinct red fins and striking metallic scales, it can be a good choice for novice aquarists. This species exhibits peaceful behavior but may nip the fins of slower or long-finned tank mates. Optimal conditions include ample swimming space, a subdued lighting setting, and a well-planted tank with open spaces.
