Hyphessobrycon eschwartzae, commonly known as the Flag Tetra, is a small South American tetra that really comes to life when kept in a proper school.
In this species profile, we take a closer look at the Flag Tetra, including its natural habitat, size, behavior, water parameters, feeding, breeding, and some of the interesting history behind this relatively recently described species.
Individually they're beautiful little fish, but get a good-sized group together in a planted aquarium and those red, black, and reflective stripes really start to shine.
