The Hasemania Nana - Silver Tip Tetra (Extra Large) is a high-utility biological asset, engineered for rhythmic schooling and high-contrast movement in technical freshwater systems. Characterized by a warm copper-to-gold body profile and distinctive, high-visibility white-to-silver tips on the fins, this Extra Large variant is a masterclass in clean aquatic aesthetics. In the "Answering Machine" era of specialized freshwater husbandry, the Silver Tip is prized for its intense activity levels and its unique lack of an adipose fin, setting it apart from other characins.
Unlike more delicate or reclusive tetras, H. nana is a robust, high-metabolism specimen that occupies the middle and upper water column. It provides a constant display of synchronized schooling, making it a premier choice for high-energy planted or community setups.
Note: Images shown are stock images and not the actual fish you will receive.
Visualization Note: Some product imagery utilizes generative AI to provide a high-fidelity representation of a mature specimen’s architectural profile. These are not photos of the specific individual you will receive, as biological variance is a standard in high-end husbandry.
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful (Very Active)
Variant Size: Extra Large
Minimum Tank Size: 20 Gallons
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Compatible: N/A (Freshwater)
Max Size: 1.5 to 2 Inches
Temperature: 72° to 82°F
dKH: 3 to 12
pH: 6.0 to 8.0
The Silver Tip Tetra requires a stable freshwater environment with ample swimming lanes to support its athletic behavior:
Structural Layout: Dense background and perimeter planting (Amazon Swords or Vallisneria) is recommended to provide security, but the central water column must remain unobstructed for high-velocity schooling.
Flow: Moderate flow is preferred to simulate its natural riverine habitat and encourage technical schooling discipline.
Lighting: Standard lighting is sufficient, but darker substrates will significantly enhance the copper saturation and make the silver fin-tips "pop."
This is a social, high-energy schooling species. To maintain social stability and minimize "nippy" behavior often seen in under-stocked groups, they must be kept in groups of 8 or more. They are peaceful and integrate perfectly with other active residents such as larger Tetras, Barbs, and Corydoras. Avoid housing with exceptionally slow-moving or long-finned species (like Bettas) that may be stressed by the Silver Tip’s high velocity.
Success with Hasemania nana hinges on a varied nutritional protocol. They are high-metabolism foragers and should be fed twice daily with high-quality flakes and micro-granules. Supplement with frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp to maintain peak color saturation and immune function. Regular 25% weekly water changes are the primary success factor for maintaining the water quality these active specimens demand.
We utilize specialized logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure livestock arrives in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. This protocol is strictly designed to minimize transport stress and ensure a technical transfer from our facility to your tank with zero compromise on health or vitality.
