Gold Tetra (Hemigrammus rodwayi), also known as the Golden Tetra, is a small and vibrant freshwater fish. Here are some key points about them:

Appearance: They have a bright gold coloration with a black stripe running along their body. This metallic gold pigmentation is actually caused by a harmless parasite they are exposed to in the wild
Size: They typically grow up to about 5.5 cm (2.2 inches), but the ones you mentioned are around 2.5 cm
Lifespan: They can live for 3 to 5 years with proper care
Habitat: In the wild, they are found in South American countries like Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana
Tank Requirements: They thrive in a well-planted tank with soft, slightly acidic water and a minimum size of 20 gallons They do best in schools of 10 or more.
Diet: Gold Tetras are omnivores and micropredators, enjoying a varied diet of high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods
Behavior: They are peaceful and make excellent community tank members, often schooling with other similarly sized tetras

Gold Tetras are a great addition to any aquarium, especially for those who appreciate their unique coloration and peaceful nature.
