Tetras,
Characins & Rasboras
Goliad Farms, LP
raises and grows out a large and growing variety of healthy, well-conditioned
tetras, characins and rasboras in our
indoor, climate-controlled facilities.
The tetras, characins and rasboras
represent a diverse groups of fish that hobbyists recognize, but probably have
no real scientific validity. At any rate, since these fish are commonly known
under these respective names and, in general, have similar habits, requirements
and breeding behaviors, we group them together here.
Below is a table listing the tetras, characins
and rasboras Goliad
Farms produces or grows out. Click on the name of a species/variety for
specific information about that particular species/variety. We use common names in the contents bar since most buyers won't know and
aren't interested in scientific names; but for informational purposes, we have included the
scientific name in parentheses after the common name below and on the
individual fish's page. We also have chosen to use the common names used
by "Dr. Axelrod's ATLAS of Freshwater Aquarium Fishes" since it is as
close to being ubiquitous as any other aquarium hobby book. In reference
to scientific names, as with all hobbyists, we struggle to keep up the
seemingly constant reclassification of tropical fish. So, bear with us
on scientific names. We attempt to use consensus names, but we can't
always keep up with the changes. All scientific names (genus and
species) are in italic
fonts. Common names are in a non-italic font. If the scientific
name is omitted, then we are not sure of scientific
identification of the fish.
