Ember Tetra

The Ember Tetra is an absolute stunning nano fish with very bold orange and hints of red for color. They 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. 

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with UPS Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

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

The scientific name for the Ember Tetra is Hyphessobrycon amandae.

We feed our Ember Tetras a mix of frozen foods including daphnia, baby brine and cyclops. We occasionally feed them Northfin Veggie.
