- Aquatics expert Tom Sarac provides an in-depth overview of one of the old-time favorite aquarium fish - the Penguin Tetra!
Native to the upper Amazon River basin in Peru and the Araguaia River in Brazil, the Penguin Tetra (Thayeria boehlkei) is easy to care for, has a highly unique appearance, and shoals very nicely! A hardy and undemanding species, the Penguin Tetra prefers to be kept in larger groups of its own kind, and is compatible with other peaceful species such as Corydoras, Hemigrammus, Rasbora and Trichogaster. Well-suited for both planted aquascapes and more natural layouts with driftwood roots and branches, lead litter and stained water, the Penguin Tetra exhibits schooling behaviors more than most other tropical freshwater fish, adding a fascinating visual element to any suitable aquarium!

I got my fish tank it really had a mix, one of everything I liked, never knew any better, now I only have 2 catfish 4 black widows and 4 penguins, all in a 20ltr tank with real plants the tank is round with filter built on to the backside so the fish are magnified, it more goes with the colour scheme of my living rooms decor.
I breed guppies before I got rid of them and black widows are currently spawning so must be doing something right, I noticed the 3 new penguins don't bother with my original one, he is a grumpy fish that was bad for nipping but im assuming that's cause he was stuck himself. I really don't want to out more fish in to overcrowd but i want happy fish, the new penguins oy been in a few days will they adjust eventually?
Good info
really love your info😍
We're glad you find our videos helpful! 🙏
Just brought 3 penguins, they are good with other fishes inside my tank. But yes, u r right, with that small no. They sometimes chase each other. Anyway thx for your info
Will they do ok with geophagus?
It depends on the species of Geophagus - larger ones are known to eat torpedo-shaped tetras such as Penguin Tetras.
They really love Mosquitoes

is the fish ok with guppies in the tank?
You shouldn't have any issues keeping Penguin Tetras with Guppies - just make sure you keep the Penguin Tetras in a large enough group!
