Water Parameters: Balloon Red Eye Tetras prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Maintain the water temperature between 75-82Β°F and a pH range of 6.5-7.5. They appreciate moderately hard water. Good filtration and regular water changes are necessary for their well-being.
Diet: Balloon Red Eye Tetras are omnivorous and have a versatile diet. They readily accept high-quality flake or pellet foods. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. They also enjoy nibbling on small pieces of vegetable matter.
Temperament: Balloon Red Eye Tetras are generally peaceful and can be kept in community aquariums. They coexist well with other peaceful fish species of similar size. Avoid keeping them with overly aggressive or fin-nipping tankmates that may stress them.

Behavior: Balloon Red Eye Tetras are active schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to ensure their well-being. They exhibit a beautiful red eye coloration that adds a striking visual element to the aquarium. They are known for their graceful swimming and their lively behavior when kept in a suitable environment.
Fun Fact: The Balloon Red Eye Tetra is named for its distinctive round body shape and its red eyes, which are particularly prominent against its silvery body. Their unique appearance and peaceful nature make them an attractive choice for aquarists looking to add vibrant and eye-catching fish to their aquarium.
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) Iβve 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.
