The silvertip tetra from eastern Brazil is coppery to golden brown with striking white fin tips that flash like little lights as the shoal turns. Unlike almost all characins, it lacks the small adipose fin on the back.
It is decidedly active and will nibble fins if kept in too small a group. Keep at least eight, give them swimming space, and do not house them with slow veiltails or shy species.
