Ember Tetra Fish - #33218

Add a splash of vibrant color to your freshwater aquarium with our Ember Tetras. These beautiful, tiny schooling fish are known for their bright orange-red coloration, peaceful temperament, and active swimming behavior, making them a great addition to community aquariums and planted tanks.

Ember Tetras are especially popular for nano aquariums and natural aquascapes. Their striking colors stand out beautifully against green aquatic plants and darker substrates. These social fish thrive when kept in groups of six or more, with larger schools helping them feel secure and display their natural behaviors.

Ember Tetras prefer clean, stable water conditions, gentle water flow, and plenty of plants and hiding areas. They enjoy a varied diet of finely crushed flakes, micro pellets, and appropriately sized frozen or live foods.
