Hemigrammus Rhodostomus

Hemigrammus Rhodostomus

The rummy-nose tetraHemigrammus rhodostomus, is a species of tropical freshwater characin fish originating from South America, popular among fishkeepers as an aquarium fish. One of many small tetras belonging to the same Genus, it is a 5 cm (2 in) long fish when fully grown, and is a long established favourite among tropical fishkeepers. The fish is one of several very similar species including Hemigrammus bleheri Géry & Mahnert 1986, and Petitella georgiae Géry & Boutiére 1964, and it is possible that more recently collected specimens available in the aquarium trade are members of one or other of these alternative species. The common name applied to most of these fishes is "rummy-nose tetra.
