X-Ray Tetras are native to the Amazon rivers in South America—many like this fish because of their temperament. Luckily, I did some research for my X-Ray Tetras and found some characteristics that make this fish favored by many aquarists. So, what is the temperament of X-ray tetra? See below!
-
Peaceful
Behind their eye-catching look, these fish genuinely have a peaceful temperament. They are far from aggressive! So it is easy to pair them with other fish in a tank—however, they aren't friends with every fish. X-Ray Tetra will be an excellent pair for fish with a peaceful temperament.
-
Active
While they are peaceful, this fish doesn't swim with laziness. They are super active! X-Ray Tetras are schooling fish, meaning they must stay in a big group of six or more. They naturally swim together in synchronized movements, which force them to remain active.
-
Sociable
X-Ray Tetras are very friendly to other fish in a tank; they aren't the type of fish that makes a drama. They quickly become stressed if they have to live alone in a tank. That's how an extrovert fish looks!
-
Resilient
Many aquarists like this fish because they are easy to care for. X-ray tetras are an excellent choice for beginners because they are highly resistant to every type of water. In nature, these fish are found in soft water. However, they also withstand tough water, although they do best in soft.
-
Loyal
Since they are schooling fish, X-ray tetras are great for sticking with a massive fish community. They are friendly and easygoing, and they don't betray their friends. I called this a high loyalty characteristic.
Conclusion
X-ray tetras are the best fresh starters if you are a beginner in fish. This perky little fish has green flag characteristics. They are very peaceful, easy-going, and friendly. Thus, if you want a peaceful tank, get this fish and their mates in a tank!
