The care level of Nego Dagua Tetra is relatively easy, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Special requirements and feeding:

Nego Dagua Tetra are omnivorous fish that feed on small invertebrates, algae, and other plant matter. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. It is important to note that Nego Dagua Tetra prefers a heavily planted tank with driftwood and rock formations that provide hiding spots.

How Many Nego Dagua Tetras Should I Keep?

Nego Dagua Tetra is a schooling fish that should be kept in groups of at least six individuals. It is recommended to have a tank that is at least 20 gallons (75 litres) to accommodate the school and provide ample swimming space.

Lighting Preference:

Nego Dagua Tetra thrives in well-lit aquariums with subdued lighting. It is important to provide them with a natural day and night cycle to promote their natural behaviour.

Breeding Nego Dagua Tetra:

Unfortunately, there isn’t much information available about the breeding of Hyphessobrycon negodagua. This species is relatively new to the aquarium hobby and hasn’t been bred extensively in captivity. However, based on the breeding habits of closely related tetra species, it is possible to make some educated guesses about how to breed this fish.

In general, tetras are relatively easy to breed in captivity as long as their basic requirements are met. Breeding often occurs in a separate breeding tank with soft, acidic water and a temperature of around 75-80°F (24-27°C). A spawning mop or a clump of fine-leaved plants can be provided as a substrate for the eggs.

During the breeding process, the males will chase the females around the tank and display their brightest colours in an attempt to attract a mate. Once a pair has formed, the female will deposit her eggs on the substrate, and the male will fertilize them.

After spawning is complete, the adult fish should be removed from the breeding tank to prevent them from eating the eggs or fry. The eggs will hatch in a few days, and the fry will absorb their yolk sacs for another few days before becoming free-swimming.

At this point, the fry can be fed a diet of freshly hatched brine shrimp or other small live foods. As they grow, they can be transitioned to crushed flake food or other appropriate commercial diets.

Overall, breeding Hyphessobrycon negodagua is likely to be similar to breeding other tetra species, and with the right setup and conditions, it should be possible to successfully breed this fish in captivity.

Sexual Dimorphism:

Male Nego Dagua Tetra has a more vibrant coloration and smaller body size compared to the females.

Distribution:

Nego Dagua Tetra is found in the wild in Costa Rica and Panama. There are also captive-bred strains of this fish available in the aquarium trade.

Summary:

Nego Dagua Tetra is a small, hardy, and peaceful freshwater fish suitable for a community aquarium. It requires a well-maintained tank with suitable water conditions, a varied diet, and adequate swimming space. They are schooling fish that should be kept in groups of at least six individuals. Breeding Nego Dagua Tetra can be challenging, and it requires specific breeding conditions.

  1. Licensed Livestock Courier: The store exclusively uses a licensed livestock courier for shipping fish and coral. This approach is chosen to ensure responsible and ethical transportation of the livestock.
  2. Livestock Shipping Fee: The livestock shipping fee charged to customers of £19.99 does not cover the true cost, and therefore, there is a minimum spend requirement of £30.00 before the option for livestock shipping becomes available.
  3. Pre-Arranged Delivery: The store never ships livestock without first arranging a suitable delivery day. Before dispatching the livestock, the store must confirm the agreed-upon delivery day with the customer.

  5. Failure to wait for livestock: Not waiting for livestock, even if there is a reasonable delay, or cancelling an order after it has been dispatched will lead to you incurring charges for an emergency return to the base. Additionally, any losses of livestock will also be charged to you. Please be aware that the items you are ordering are living creatures – livestock. We kindly ask that you refrain from ordering livestock if you are unable to accommodate the possibility of a delayed delivery.

    These terms and conditions are a fundamental aspect of our policy. Our primary goal is to dissuade individuals who could react negatively to a delayed delivery and subsequently request order cancellations. It is of utmost importance to underscore that your order pertains to living creatures, not mere inanimate objects. In the event of an occasional delay, it is crucial that you respond in a rational and responsible manner, taking into account the welfare of the livestock. We kindly request that you refrain from placing an order for livestock if you tend to react strongly to such situations. By proceeding with the order of livestock, you indicate your acceptance and agreement to abide by these specified terms and conditions.

  6. Signature Requirement: Livestock deliveries require a signature upon receipt and cannot be left in a safe location. This precaution ensures proper handling and the well-being of the livestock.
  7. Geographic Restrictions: The courier has strict geographic restrictions for livestock deliveries. Unfortunately, deliveries to Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands, and certain Scottish offshore postcodes may not be possible. Customers are encouraged to contact the store via email to confirm if livestock delivery is available in their area.
