Pristella Tetras, also known as X-ray Tetra are a peaceful and hardy schooling fish. They are generally fairly confident for a tetra but may become skittish if kept with larger tank mates. They may nip at live plants so if kept in a planted aquarium be mindful. They do well in a wide range of water parameters and will get along well in most community aquariums.
