Diet: Black Skirt Tetras are omnivores and will thrive on a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Supplement with plant-based foods such as spirulina or blanched vegetables like spinach.

Tankmates: Peaceful community species such as tetras, rasboras, Corydoras, and small peaceful cichlids. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 6 or more to prevent stress and aggressive behavior. Avoid keeping them with long-finned or slow-moving species, as they can nip fins.
