Junior Tetra (Hyphessobrycon robustulus) - 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: The junior tetra ( Hyphessobrycon robustulus ) is a rare and stunning species of tetra not often seen in the hobby. They start out rather simple with silver bodies and black and white tails, but upon maturity, they become flashes of color. Females develop rounder bodies with yellow fins while males become more streamlined and adorned with vibrant red fins. Some males will even gain a stunning gold iridescence. This sexual dimorphism is rather unique among tetras and make the junior tetra truly stand out. While junior tetras are generally hardy, this is only when they are kept in proper water parameters. A good way to achieve the clean, tannin-stained, soft, acidic conditions they prefer is by imitating their natural habitat. In the wild, junior tetras can be found in the upper reg.
