Species Profile

Glowlight Tetra

Hemigrammus erythrozonus

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • 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.

Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation

Keep at least 8–10 in a planted 10-gallon or larger aquarium. A 20-gallon gives a larger school more open swimming room.

Build a Better Aquarium

Plants That Pair Perfectly

Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.

Add live plants to create cover, improve water quality, and build a healthier aquarium for your fish.
