Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
Glowlight Tetras (Hemigrammus erythrozonus) are peaceful schooling fish with a warm copper-orange body stripe. Their color reads especially clearly against dark substrate and green plants.
They are adaptable community fish when kept in a stable, mature aquarium.
Care Notes
Provide stable water, plant cover, and open swimming room. Their copper-orange stripe shows especially well over dark substrate.
Keep at least 8–10 for more natural schooling behavior.
