Remarks: Green Fire Tetras (Aphyocharax rathbuni) are small tetras with a rarely seen color combination of green and red. Most of their body is lime green, but the base of the anal and caudal fins is red, which bleeds into the body a bit as they mature. They are a great choice for beginners and small tanks, as well as large schools in larger tanks. They should be kept in groups of at least 6 fish.
