Black Phantom tetra (Hyphessobrycon megalopterus)

Named after their striking appearance, these freshwater fish are actually far more peaceful than their trade name would have you believe.

Social and very playful, Black Phantom tetras make excellent additions to community tanks. They’re an active species as well (more on that later). With their unique social interactions and penchant for darting throughout the tank, these fish always put on a show.

Black Phantom tetras are native to South America. They inhabit bodies of water throughout Bolivia and West Brazil. Most notably, you can find them in the upper Paraguay and Madeira basins.

This species flourishes in the wild and readily breeds in captivity. As a result, they’re easy to find and add to your fish collection!
