This tetra species is also known as False Penguin Tetra, Penguin Tetra or Hockey Stick Tetra. Just like most of the tetras, these tetras are also a peaceful species. If you are able to keep them in sufficient numbers then you might not see the fin nipping behavior as well. Therefore, these species should live in at least 6 or more individuals.

The Hockey stick tetras have originated around the tributaries of backwaters as well as flood plains of the upper Amazon basin in regions of Brazil and Peru.
