Serpae tetras are popular flame-colored fish that move in bright red schools through your aquarium. They're quite popular in a community aquarium because of their beauty and ease of care, though they can become mildly aggressive when kept with slow-moving species. Add a school of six or more serpae tetras to your aquarium, along with plants, rocks, and caves to keep them interested, and enjoy watching as they explore.
