Hyphessobrycon vinaceus - 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: If you are looking for an extremely rare and almost never seen in the hobby species of tetra, Hyphessobrycon vinaceus is it. While it was described back in the early 2000s, it is brand new to the hobby. Because of this, it has yet to be given a common name and there is not much information in regards to their care. For species like this, it is best to replicate their natural habitat to have the best chance at success and maybe even get them to spawn. Hyphessobrycon vinaceus come from the Rio Pardo drainage in Brazil, specifically the Rio São João. The area of collection was specifically in a portion of rapids directly below a waterfall with a sandy bottom. From this, it can be concluded this species requires, clear, highly oxygenated water with a good amount of current. When healt. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
