Robust and peaceful, the Hyphessobrycon flammeus is a species that needs to be raised in groups of at least ten individuals. Therefore, a 100-liter aquarium is recommended. To respect their living conditions, water temperatures between 22°C and 28°C are essential, as well as a pH between 6.8 and 7.2. They also have omnivorous and insectivorous dietary needs.
