Pristella maxillaris is a small South American characin commonly known as the X-ray Tetra, valued for its translucent body and the distinctive black, white, and yellow markings on its dorsal and anal fins. As a peaceful and hardy shoaling fish, it adapts well to community aquariums with other gentle species, bringing a bright yet understated elegance to planted layouts and open swimming spaces. In captivity, maintaining stable slightly acidic to neutral water, offering finely sized balanced foods, and providing both group companionship and areas of aquatic plants or shade are important points for supporting its natural behavior, clear appearance, and long-term health.
