Diet: Black Phantom Tetras are omnivorous. They have a versatile diet and readily accept high-quality flakes, pellets, and small live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. They also appreciate occasional vegetable matter in their diet, like blanched spinach or lettuce.
Temperament: Peaceful
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Schooling Fish (Black Phantom Tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to feel secure and exhibit their natural behavior.)
Possible types of tank mates: Black Phantom Tetras are peaceful and can be kept with other small, peaceful fish species. They make good tank mates for tetras, rasboras, guppies, dwarf gouramis, and other community fish of similar size. Avoid housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species.
Behavior: Black Phantom Tetras are a popular and attractive species known for their striking coloration. They have a dark body with a distinctive black dorsal fin and a red or orange tail fin, creating a beautiful contrast. These tetras are generally peaceful and active swimmers, adding vibrancy to the aquarium. When kept in a group, they exhibit fascinating schooling behavior, moving together in synchronized motions. They prefer a well-planted aquarium with plenty of swimming space and subdued lighting. Black Phantom Tetras are relatively hardy and adaptable, making them suitable for beginner and intermediate aquarists.
Fun Fact: Black Phantom Tetras get their name from the appearance of the male fish during courtship. When in breeding mode, the males display an impressive show of black coloration, especially on their dorsal fin, as a way to attract females. This intense black coloration is believed to mimic a predator's eye, intimidating other males and signaling their readiness to breed. The courtship behavior and color display of Black Phantom Tetras make them an intriguing species to observe during their reproductive cycle.
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.
