Candy Cane Tetra

Candy Cane Tetra

The candy cane tetra, or HY511 tetra, looks like a cross between the red phantom tetra and bleeding heart tetra. These Venezuelan tetras feature a pink body with white tipped fins and make a terrific looking school.  Now captive bred, these tetras were once rare and hard to find in the hobby.
