Diet: Diamond Tetras are omnivorous and will accept a variety of foods. They can be fed high-quality flake foods, small pellets, and freeze-dried or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. They also appreciate live foods like small insects and insect larvae. Including some vegetable matter in their diet, such as spirulina-based flakes or blanched vegetables, is beneficial.
Temperament: Peaceful
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Diamond Tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to create a natural social structure and minimize stress.)
Possible types of tank mates: Diamond Tetras are peaceful and can be kept with other small, peaceful community fish. They are compatible with other tetras, rasboras, guppies, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping them with large or aggressive fish that may intimidate or harm them.
Behavior: Diamond Tetras, also known as Moenkhausia pittieri, are beautiful and active fish that add a touch of elegance to any aquarium. They have a slender body with shimmering silver scales and a diamond-shaped black patch located towards the posterior of their body. Diamond Tetras are peaceful and social creatures that thrive when kept in a school. They exhibit fascinating schooling behavior, swimming together in synchronized movements. This behavior not only creates a visually stunning display but also serves as a defense mechanism against predators. Diamond Tetras are active swimmers and appreciate a well-planted aquarium with open swimming space. They may occasionally explore the middle and upper levels of the tank, adding depth to their movement patterns.
Fun Fact: Diamond Tetras are native to the rivers and streams of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in Central America. They are named for the sparkling diamond-shaped patch on their body. Interestingly, the diamond patch of each individual fish is unique, much like a fingerprint. This distinct marking adds to their charm and makes them easily recognizable. Diamond Tetras are also known for their iridescent scales that reflect light, creating a beautiful shimmering effect in the aquarium. Their peaceful nature, stunning appearance, and active behavior make them a popular choice among aquarists, especially for community tanks and planted setups.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
