Ember Tetras

The Ember Tetra is an absolute stunning nano fish with very bold orange and hints of red for color. Ember Tetras truly stand out in a planted aquarium. It is important to provide hiding places for these fish as they can get stressed out. We recommend rock and driftwood to create caves and crevices. Thick plant vegetation will also give Ember Tetras plentiful places to hide.

The Ember Tetra will reach sizes of about 1.25 inches. They are pretty peaceful although we would not recommend keeping them with shrimp. Ember Tetras also prefer small live foods so baby shrimp would become an easy target. 

The scientific name for the Ember Tetra is Hyphessobrycon amandae.

What Do Ember Tetras Eat?

We feed the Ember Tetras a variety of NorthFin food such has the, Community Food. We also feed them brine and can be fed daphnia! 

How Big do Ember tetras Get?

Ember Tetras are very small nano fish. They can typically grow anywhere from 1-3 cm.

Ember Tetras

I enjoy their tight schooling behavior. I have added 16 of them to my 60T UNS tank. That's roughly a 25 gallon tank.
Sometimes, they're all over in different directions. Most of the time they're tightly packed, swimming end to end. They are great tank mates with the 6 Sunkist shrimp and 6 Amano shrimp.
The tank is just under a month old.
It's maturing nicely. In three weeks, if nothing dies... I'll be in the market for 8 Julii Cory.
The Ember Tetras colored up nicely within 30-45 minutes. They are beginning to eat more aggressively after a few days of just watching flake food float to the bottom. I skipped a couple days. Now, they're a hungry wolf pack. I'm hoping for improved color as appetite has improved. I highly recommend these fish, the Sunkist shrimp and Flip aquatics.

Ember Tetras

Ordered 8, received 9. Everyone appears to be in good health. They are of decent size too. I was nervous to order due to the winter weather, but the heat pack kept everyone warm during transit. Outside was 35 degrees, their water was 68 degrees. After acclimating to the new tank everyone colored up quickly.

Amazing fish from an amazing fish retailer company!

I got 8 ember tetras from you guys today, and you guys did NOT disappoint! All came healthy, and I must say. Assuming they're juvenile, they were pretty big! They are active, and swimming around in my 5 gallon aquarium. I literally can't keep my eyes off them. They are too beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing because you're really good at it!

Beyond satisfied!

I ordered 10 of these little guys. They threw in 2 extra! One however did not make the trip, which is totally understandable considering the amount of fish in a single bag. All fish are exceptionally healthy and have colored up nicely. They must have been eating good, because these guys (and gals) are chubby. It hasn’t even been 12 hours and they are already exhibiting spawning behavior! They get along just fine with my betta and cherry shrimp. I received a healthy ratio of males to females as well. Once again these guys are exceptional quality. Definitely going to recommend flip to other hobbyist and will be getting all my fish from here on out! Thanks once again to flip aquatics for serving the standard!

Healthy tetras

I couldn't find any ember tetras to buy locally so I'm glad they're available for order here. I ordered nine of these tetras, I was hesitant as I've never ordered fish online and was worried they wouldn't make it through the shipping process. They arrived about four days later, it was about 85 degrees here and the box was sitting out in the sun for a few hours but when I opened it, the inside of the box was still at a good temperature (I assume from the cool pack they put in). All nine tetras were alive upon arrival, I followed the acclimating instructions when putting them in my aquarium. I've had them for about four days now and they're all looking happy and healthy. I plan to order from this website in the future for fish/shrimp/etc that I'm unable to find locally.

Awesome little fish

Embers took a few weeks to get comfy and start to color up (typical of embers in my experience) but they arrivee healthy and are all doing great. Even the extra little tetra is doing awesome.

I like them

These little guys arrived active and healthy. They acclimated well and appear to be very happy in their planted tank. I put some scuds in with them and the tetras had a fun time chasing them down. Every fish I've ordered from this company has arrived alive and active.
