Pink Kissing Gouramis are hardy freshwater fish best suited to spacious, well-established aquariums of at least 75 gallons, as they can grow up to 12 inches long and may become territorial, especially as adults.

The Hifin Serpae Tetra is a selectively bred variety of the Serpae Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eques), recognized for its vibrant red coloration and elongated, flowing dorsal fin. It is an active schooling fish that should be kept in groups of 6 or more, with larger groups helping promote natural behavior and reduce fin-nipping. Provide a well-planted aquarium with open swimming areas, gentle to moderate flow, and subdued lighting to showcase its coloration. Maintain stable water conditions around 72–79°F and offer a varied diet of quality flakes and micro pellets supplemented with brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. It is generally suitable for community aquariums with similarly sized, active tankmates, but its long fins can make it more vulnerable to fin-nipping.
