Rummy nose tetra Tank Size and Specifications
Since these fish are small in size and gentle in nature, they do not need huge tanks to keep them in place. However, they are schooling fish and are swimmers so very small tanks cannot hold them. An ideal size to keep these fish comfortably would be a tank that can hold up 20-25 gallons of water or an 80-liter aquarium. The ideal requirement for each fish would be around 2 gallons and hence a 20- gallon tank is sufficient to raise 10 of these fishes.
Water parameters for Rummy Nose Tetra
These fishes like warm water therefore the temperature should be at 75 – 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The pH of the water can range from 5.5 to 7.0 since these fish prefer their water conditions to be acidic and soft. To maintain a stable environment and the health of the fish, the hardness of the water should be 2-6 KH.
Rummy nose tetras are sensitive fishes so any changes in the water condition can lead to problems in their health. Excess waste and not cleaning the algae buildup can create stress in the fish hence it is important to check the water levels and change the water regularly.
