PetSmart Candy Cane Tetra

The Candy Cane Tetra is hyphessobrycon bentosi. They seem to be similar to other small tetras and prefer insect type foods to plant type foods, so plant nipping shouldn't be an issue. They do better in schools/groups, with less fin nipping behavior- just like most other tetras.
