Description: The Cochu's Blue Tetra is a small species of characin fish, a large order of ray finned fish that includes piranhas and tetras, that can naturally be found in the Amazon, they used to be able to be collected by people with tropical freshwater fish tanks, but in recent days, they are very hard to come across.  Although the name says Blue Tetra, these fish can also be seen in a pink coloration.  If a person does own some Cochu's Blue Tetras, it is very important that they are in a group of at least 6 individuals and lots of open space for them to swim around, a 35 inch long fish tank should work best, if the living conditions are just right, these fish can live between 2 to 3 years.
Mod: Tetra Pack (Thom)
Personal Thoughts: I think I have seen these fish once or twice in a pet store, but I'm not seeing any nowadays, I have heard that these are easy to care for, but I have raised fish before, not this kind, and it is pretty stressful.  Anyways, the one on here is well made, it doesn't require placed food, but live food enrichment items, it has no bugs or glitches and the modeling and textures are accurate compared to the real animal.
My Rating: 9.5/10
