TheBlack MorphoTetra(Poecilocharax weitzmani) is a striking and highly sought-after micro predator native to the blackwater streams of the Amazon Basin. Known for its elegant, dart-like swimming style and rich black coloration with contrasting gold or bronze highlights, this rare tetra is a real standout in any well-maintained aquarium.
While small in size, the Black Darter Tetra has a bold presence and is best appreciated in a species-only or carefully curated community tank with other peaceful fish of similar size. Due to its rarity and specific care needs, this species is most suitable for experienced aquarists looking to create a quiet, dimly lit setup with soft, acidic water—similar to the fish’s natural habitat.
Diet: Omnivore and micropredator, will accept almost all frozen and prepared foods
