The silvertip tetra (Hasemania nana) is a species of characid freshwater fish omnivores native to streams and creeks in the São Francisco basin in Brazil, but frequently kept in aquariums.[2] Silvertip tetras are slightly more aggressive than other comparable smaller tetras, observed occasionally to nip other similarly sized tetras.
