Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
Ember Tetras (Hyphessobrycon amandae) are tiny orange-red schooling fish that show especially well in planted aquariums with dark substrate. Adults remain under an inch.
They are peaceful and generally compatible with adult shrimp, while newly hatched shrimplets can still be at risk.
Care Notes
Feed appropriately small foods and keep the aquarium mature and stable. Dark substrate helps their orange coloration stand out.
Keep at least 10; larger groups are generally more confident and visible.
