Bucktooth tetra (Exodon Paradoxus)

While the bucktooth tetra is part of the tetra family, it’s nothing like the peaceful community fish most familiar with! Scientifically known as Exodon paradoxus, this freshwater fish is predatory and wildly aggressive.

Best for seasoned aquarists, the bucktooth tetra can be violent towards any other fish in the vicinity. They are one of several scale-eating species from the Amazon River Basin. Groups will swarm fish and rip their scales off bit by bit!

Bucktooth tetras are naturally found throughout Brazil and Guyana. While not as popular as their peaceful cousins, this species is still readily available in the aquarium trade.

Revered for their beauty and ferocious nature, they are considered a must-have for many aquarists!
