The GMO Widow Tetra is a vibrant fluorescent version of the popular Black Skirt Tetra, offering the same peaceful schooling behaviour and hardy nature with the addition of brilliant glowing colours. Available in a range of bright shades including green, red, orange, pink, blue, and purple, these eye-catching fish create a stunning visual display in both daylight and blue-spectrum lighting.

Active, social, and easy to care for, GMO Widow Tetras are ideal for community aquariums where they can be kept in groups and display their natural schooling behaviour. Their deep-bodied shape and flowing fins make them stand out as they move through the aquarium, adding constant movement and colour to the mid-water levels.

Their durability and adaptability make them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced fishkeepers looking to create a lively and colourful freshwater aquarium.

Whether housed in a planted aquarium or a dedicated community setup, GMO Widow Tetras provide a unique combination of beauty, activity, and personality.
