Moenkhausia is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Characidae native to tropical and subtropical South America. These are medium-sized tetras where the largest species only reach around 12 cm (4.7 in).[1]
The diamond tetra and red-eye tetra, which are commonly kept in aquaria, are members of this genus.[2][3]
