Native to the bodies of water in South America, the diamond tetra likes to live in shallow and slow-moving areas. These fish can typically be found in the Rio Bue, Rio Tiquiriti, and Lake Valencia.

Diamond tetra care is usually pretty straightforward. These freshwater fish are surprisingly hardy, which makes them great options for beginners and novice aquarists alike.

It is recommended to feed any fish a mixed diet of live and dry food
