These fish are relatively devoid of color but unique among aquarium fish due to their reproductive methods. Splash Tetras are also sometimes called Spraying, Splashing or Jumping Tetras and other related species are sometimes sold under the same name. This species of Tetra typically exhibits an elongated silver body and the scales are somewhat larger and more differentiated than those of many other Tetra species. Splash Tetras are native to South America where they can be found throughout the northern portion of the continent in Guyana, Suriname, Brazil and Venezuela. These fish tend to inhabit slow-moving waters like streams and tributaries, though they can also be found in flooded forests during the rainy season.
