Before to begin with the “usual suspects”...,
I want to share a curious photos of my biggest Tetra Congo (3 years old – 10 cm.)
What do you think – is this cousin of Piranha seems enough pretty evil…

It is easy to forget these little guys are related to pirhanas... then you see something like this and its not so surprising. Great photos! Show us more!

I want to finish Congo’s part of that thread with some shots of my Tetra Congo Gold.
First, one photo of Tetra Congo female to make any compares with “gold” variety:



Tetra CONGO Gold female:






As you see, the “golden” nuance is always in combination with other reflecting colors from the tanks interior…

Tetra CONGO Gold male:

Wow, amazing photos. I have been planning to add 4-5 congo tetras to my 90 gallon planted this weekend and the photos serve as motivation. Thanks for sharing. Darrell

Nice shots. Congos are definately the nicest tetras out there, provided you have enough room for them.

I'm planning on setting up a 180 gallon tank for about 16 or 20 of them later this year.

Those pictures are the best I have seen on Congo tetras. I really like the macro on the Congo’s face. What camera did you use? What was the fs?

Great job!
