Description
the White Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), a popular aquarium fish. Here is some general information about the White Skirt Tetra:
Appearance:
- The White Skirt Tetra has a distinctive appearance with a silvery body and long, flowing fins. The name "white skirt" comes from its skirt-like anal and pelvic fins.
- Some variations may have a black line along the body, enhancing the contrast with the silvery color.
Size:
- Typically, White Skirt Tetras grow to about 2 to 3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in length.
Habitat:
- Native to South America, White Skirt Tetras are found in slow-moving or still waters, such as ponds and tributaries.
Tank Requirements:
- They are adaptable to a range of water conditions but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5).
- The aquarium should have plants and hiding spots, and the water temperature should be maintained between 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C).
Diet:
- White Skirt Tetras are omnivores and accept a varied diet. They can be fed high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms.
Behavior:
- White Skirt Tetras are known for their lively and schooling behavior. They are social fish and should ideally be kept in groups of five or more to prevent stress.
- They are generally peaceful but may exhibit fin-nipping behavior, especially if kept in small numbers.
Breeding:
- Breeding White Skirt Tetras can be achieved in a separate breeding tank with soft, acidic water. Provide fine-leaved plants or a breeding mop for them to deposit their adhesive eggs.
- The parents should be removed after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs.
Compatibility:
- White Skirt Tetras are generally compatible with other peaceful community fish. Avoid keeping them with aggressive species or those that may outcompete them for food.
