Ember Tetras

The Ember Tetra is an absolute stunning nano fish with very bold orange and hints of red for color. Ember Tetras truly stand out in a planted aquarium. It is important to provide hiding places for these fish as they can get stressed out. We recommend rock and driftwood to create caves and crevices. Thick plant vegetation will also give Ember Tetras plentiful places to hide.

The Ember Tetra will reach sizes of about 1.25 inches. They are pretty peaceful although we would not recommend keeping them with shrimp. Ember Tetras also prefer small live foods so baby shrimp would become an easy target. 

The scientific name for the Ember Tetra is Hyphessobrycon amandae.
