Ember Tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae) – Vibrant Orange Glow for Nano and Planted Tanks
The Ember Tetra is a fiery-colored, peaceful nano schooling fish perfect for adding a warm, glowing accent to your aquarium. At just 0.5 inches, these juvenile tetras already display their signature bright orange to reddish hues, which intensify as they mature and settle into a well-maintained tank. They're an ideal choice for community tanks, planted aquascapes, and nano setups, especially where gentle, social species are desired.
These tetras are best kept in groups of six or more, where their natural schooling behavior and color brilliance really come to life. Ember Tetras are peaceful, hardy, and compatible with shrimp, small rasboras, pygmy corydoras, and other micro fish.
