Strawberry are nothing more than dyed white skirt tetra. Here is some info I pulled off the net to help you out.
White Skirt Tetras are albino Black Skirt Tetras, and for this reason their care and behavior is virtually the same as the Black Skirt. Although they are not aggressive, White Skirt Tetras will usually not allow themselves to be bullied by other fish. White Skirt Tetras are schooling fish that easily form schools with fish of similar size, though they tend to nip the fins of slower moving fish. The White Skirt usually swims in the middle regions of the tank, and they do quite well in community tanks. The White Skirt is a peaceful, hearty fish that is relatively easy to care for making it an excellent choice for beginning hobbyists. White Skirt Tetras average two inches in length at maturity. Unlike Black Skirts, the White Skirt Tetra lacks stripes. They are very light and almost appear transparent. In motion, they appear fan-like. White Skirt Tetras are also commonly color died in captivity. Many of these fish are dyed by injecting them with dye using a needle and this will usually result in a decreased lifespan these fish. Some are fed dyed food to make them colorful, but this color is not permanent either. There are several different varieties, which are named according to their colors. Some of these include the Strawberry, the Blueberry and the colorful Rainbow Tetra. In addition to artificially dyed varieties there are also natural pink and blue color variations which are quite popular in captivity. White Skirt Tetras are native to South America. They are seen in several countries including Bolivia and Paraguay. They are popular in captivity because of their peaceful natures, relatively easy care, and lovely appearances. |
