About
The Ember Tetra is a vibrant and peaceful schooling fish, renowned for its striking orange-red coloration. Growing to only about 2.5 cm, it's an excellent choice for nano aquariums and planted tanks. They thrive in soft, acidic water and appreciate dense vegetation, which mimics their natural habitat in South American rivers. Ember Tetras are active swimmers but generally non-aggressive, making them ideal tank mates for other small, peaceful fish.
