The Glowlight Tetra is a really nice looking tetra with an orange-red stripe that runs the length of its semi-transparent body. Properaquarium lightinglevels with a dark fish tank bottom can help enhance the colours of these tetras. They are slightly smaller than other commonly available tetras and should be kept with similar sized and non-aggressive species.

They will do really well in an aquarium withlive aquarium plants. Like other small tetras, such as theNeon tetra, this fish does best inschools(shoal) of 5 or more. Do not keep them with larger species that could potentially eat them. Even if you keep them in schools they can still be a little shy, keeping a low profile most of the time.
