Six eyed tetra
We obtained the rare, fascinating Six eyed tetra (Phenacogaster (formerly: Vesicatrus) tegatus) from Paraguay. The peaceful, about 6 cm long schooling fish confuses predatory fish with its pattern. In the middle of the body and on the caudal peduncle P. tegatus has eye-spots; thus it looks like that the fish has three eyes on each side of the body. Predatory fish target always the eye of their prey, so the unique “six-eye-pattern” guarantees the greatest safety one can think of.
For our customers: the fish have code 299002 on our stock list. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
