In the aquarium, it looks best in a mature planted setup with fine plants, floating cover, darker décor and gentle flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1k4fj4a\" data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003eAppearance \u0026amp; Adult Size:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1809\"\u003eEmber Tetras have a slim, delicate body with a bright orange, amber or flame-red glow. Colour intensity varies with age, diet, lighting, water quality and stress level; settled groups in planted aquariums usually become much richer in colour than newly arrived fish. Adults are very small, usually around \u003cstrong data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1681\"\u003e2 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, making them one of the better choices for peaceful nano and small community aquariums. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1912\"\u003eFemales are often slightly fuller-bodied, while males may appear slimmer and more intensely coloured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"zee6g1\" data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eAquarium Suitability:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"2316\"\u003eThis is an excellent fish for peaceful planted aquariums, nano communities and soft-water displays. Ember Tetras suit aquariums with mosses, fine-leaved plants, floating plants, botanicals, bogwood and open midwater swimming areas. They are not suitable for aggressive communities, large predatory fish, boisterous tank mates or brand-new aquariums with unstable water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1jzuw08\" data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2347\"\u003eRecommended Aquarium Size:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2642\"\u003eA practical minimum is \u003cstrong data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2405\"\u003e40–45 litres for a small group\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong data-start=\"2412\" data-end=\"2433\"\u003e60 litres or more\u003c\/strong\u003e preferred for a larger shoal and better long-term stability.

Offer fine crushed flakes, micro pellets and tiny granules as the staple diet. Supplement with frozen or live foods such as daphnia, cyclops, baby brineshrimp, microworms and finely chopped bloodworm. Their small mouths mean food must be appropriately sized.

In small numbers it can become shy and washed out, but in a larger group it becomes more confident and colourful. Males may display subtly to one another among plants without causing serious aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"gyou4p\" data-start=\"4438\" data-end=\"4452\"\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4453\" data-end=\"4885\"\u003eAdd Ember Tetras only to a mature, fully cycled aquarium. Provide plant cover, gentle filtration and a secure lid, as small tetras can jump if startled. Avoid keeping them with large or boisterous fish that may cause stress. Their colour improves greatly with low stress, clean water, a varied diet and a decent-sized group. Most Ember Tetras in the trade are captive-bred, making them generally adaptable when acclimated carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"iot6fl\" data-start=\"4887\" data-end=\"4906\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4907\" data-end=\"4931\"\u003eBeginner to intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1c7763y\" data-start=\"4933\" data-end=\"4949\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4950\" data-end=\"4979\"\u003eCommon \/ Usually captive-bred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1x39ni3\" data-start=\"4981\" data-end=\"5001\"\u003eImage Disclaimer:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5002\" data-end=\"5197\"\u003eAll images are a visual representation of the fish you will receive, made to be as accurate as possible.
