The Green Fire Tetra, also known as Aphyocharax rathbuni, is a lively and colorful freshwater fish species that originates from South America. They are a popular choice for aquarists due to their vibrant green and red coloration, as well as their active and social behavior.
 
Green Fire Tetras are relatively small, with a maximum size of 1.5 inches, and require a minimum tank size of 10 gallons. They are active swimmers and appreciate plenty of hiding places, live plants, and open swimming areas. They are also peaceful and can be kept with other small, peaceful species.
 
These omnivores will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, and small pieces of vegetables. It's important to provide a balanced diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
 
The Green Fire Tetra's unique characteristic is their bright green coloration, which contrasts beautifully with their red fins. They are active and social, often swimming in schools, which makes them a great addition to community aquariums.
