The Red Phantom Tetra (Hyphessobrycon sweglesi) is a striking freshwater fish known for its vibrant red and black coloration. Native to the rivers of South America, particularly in the Amazon Basin, this species typically grows to about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) in length.
 

Red Phantom Tetras are characterized by their semi-transparent bodies, with a prominent red hue that becomes more vivid under good lighting, complemented by a black patch near the base of their tail. They are peaceful and social fish, best kept in groups of six or more to encourage natural schooling behavior.
 

These tetras thrive in warm water, ideally between 72-82°F (22-28°C), and prefer a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming space. They are omnivorous and benefit from a varied diet, including high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods.
 

With proper care, Red Phantom Tetras can live up to 5 years, adding a splash of color and activity to community tanks. Their gentle nature and striking appearance make them a favorite among both beginner and experienced aquarium enthusiasts.
