🐟 Roeboides affinis – Silver Sabre Tetra for Sale

The Roeboides affinis is a slender, fast-swimming characin found throughout the Amazon and Orinoco River basins. Recognized for its elongated, laterally compressed body and sharp, reflective silver scales, this species is often called the Silver Sabre Tetra due to its sleek, blade-like profile.

In the wild, they form large shoals in open waters, where their speed and schooling behavior help them avoid predators. Their shimmering silver coloration makes them a striking addition to large, fast-moving community aquariums.
