The bright ember orange coloration of its semi-clear body makes this peaceful nano fish an extremely attractive candidate for the community aquarium.

 

THESE ARE NANO FISH, which means they do not get very big.

The Ember Tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae), also known as the Fire, Dwarf Red, or Amanda’s Tetra is a strikingly beautiful tetra that is becoming increasingly popular among aquarists due to its elegant appearance, peaceful disposition, and very small size.  This schooling fish can be the highlight in any peaceful community aquarium and it is a particular standout in the planted aquarium.

The Ember Tetra typically occupies the top and middle level of the water column, although it can often be seen swimming and feeding in the middle and bottom levels as well.   It is safe with other peaceful, small fish.  Due to its extra small size, it can be viewed as similar to microrasboras as far as its compatibility with dwarf shrimp.  Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates.  The Ember Tetra must be kept in schools of 6 or more. Since it is tank-raised, this fish is somewhat adaptable, but its natural habitat contains slightly acidic water rich in tannins and leaf litter.  It requires very clean water to thrive and it will display optimal coloration and health in a planted aquarium with dark substrate, especially where floating plants are present.  It should not be kept with overly boisterous tankmates that will outcompete it during feeding.

While not a picky eater, the Ember Tetra will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of mostly carnivorous foods.  High-quality flake food, pellets, and live, frozen, or freeze-dried Artemia, microworms, Tubifex, and finely chopped bloodworms will all be readily accepted.
