Albino Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) – A Radiant Jewel for Your Aquarium

The Albino Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) is a mesmerizing, high-impact species that brings a beautiful and unique sparkle to your aquarium. With its pearlescent white body, bright red-orange fins, and iridescent shimmer, the Albino Congo Tetra is an eye-catching fish that will be the star of any freshwater tank. This stunning variant of the Congo Tetra showcases all the elegance and beauty of its wild counterpart but with an ethereal, albino twist that gives it an almost luminous glow.

Native to the Congo River Basin in Africa, the Albino Congo Tetra is a peaceful and social species that thrives in schools. It’s an ideal choice for aquarists seeking a peaceful yet visually captivating fish to add a touch of grace and beauty to their aquarium. Their active, graceful swimming and vibrant colors create a dynamic, elegant display in a community setup.

Key Features & Care Guidelines:

  • Radiant Coloration: The Albino Congo Tetra features a shimmering white body, accented by vibrant red-orange fins and a subtle iridescence that makes it glow under aquarium lighting. Its unique appearance adds an ethereal beauty to any tank.

  • Behavior: Peaceful and social; best kept in schools of 6 or more to encourage natural schooling behavior and minimize stress. They are active and graceful swimmers, often seen gliding through the water or exploring the plants.

  • Tank Size: Minimum 20 gallons recommended for a small school, though larger tanks are ideal for more space to swim and better water quality.

  • Water Parameters: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5, and temperatures from 75°F to 80°F (24°C to 27°C). A gentle water flow and good filtration are essential for maintaining their health.

  • Diet: Omnivorous; readily accepts flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. A varied diet will enhance their coloration and overall health.

  • Tank Setup: Thrives in well-planted aquariums with soft lighting, which accentuates their glowing colors. Provide hiding spots and open swimming areas to allow them to display their natural grace and beauty.

  • Experience Level: Hardy and adaptable, making them a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. However, due to their size and delicate nature, they do best in peaceful, well-maintained community tanks.

The Albino Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) is a stunning and elegant fish that will bring both tranquility and beauty to any aquarium. Whether gracefully swimming in schools or exploring plants, its radiant color and captivating motion make it a standout addition to your aquatic world.
