Diet: Hyphessobrycon robertsi are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality flake food, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.

Tankmates: These tetras are peaceful and do well with other similarly peaceful fish like tetras, rasboras, small barbs, and other community species. They should be kept in schools of 6 or more to feel secure and display their natural schooling behavior. Avoid keeping them with large or aggressive fish.
