Aquarium and water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To create an appropriate habitat, Hasemania nana<\/em> should be\nkept in an aquarium with good water circulation and a minimum volume of 100\nlitres. They can be kept in aquarium water at tropical temperatures of 24\u00b0C to\n28\u00b0C. The water should ideally have a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH\nvalue of 6.0 \u2013 7.8. Soft water with a hardness of 2 \u2013 15\u00b0dGH is also\nrecommended for this tetra species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hasemania nana<\/em> is a relatively peaceful shoaling fish,\nwhich is happiest in a shoal with lots of conspecifics. The fish are well-suited\nto community tanks although these should be sufficiently large as the males can\nbecome extremely territorial during the spawning season. If the aquarium is big\nenough, silvertip tetras can be kept with other species of fish. Catfish and\nsmall tetras that reside in the upper regions of the tank are particularly good\nchoices. Silvertip tetras tend to prefer the middle region of the aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finely feathered aquatic plants should be loosely (and in some\nareas densely) planted around the edges of the aquarium. There should also be\nplenty of space for these active fish to swim around. A dark substrate is\nfurthermore recommended as the tetras\u2019 colours show up well against this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hasemania nana<\/em> are omnivores and can therefore eat various types of small food, but they prefer fine flakes and granulated food, such as TetraMin <\/a>or TetraPro Menu<\/a>. To add variety and as a special treat, you can also feed silvertip tetras natural foods such as Tetra Delica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Characteristics & Origin The distinctive copper colour of the silvertip tetra makes it particularly popular with aquarists, although it is only the males that have this colouring. The females are much paler and tend to be more yellowish-brown to silver.
