Black Phantom tetra

Black Phantom Tetras are extremely attractive. They show their best colors if you keep them in a group of 5 or more, and feed them a variety of foods. They look great with similar reddish-tinted Tetras, such as the Red Phantom. If the red Phantom is not hardy enough for you, a Serpae Tetra is slightly hardier. Overall, they are a great fish to keep for anyone with a little bit of experience in the hobby.
