The Glowlight Tetra is one of the longest standing and most popular small aquarium fish available. The main reason for this is that there are few small fish as peaceful, hardy and adaptable as the Glowlight Tetra. Glowlight Tetras must be kept in groups, ideally in aquariums with a few hiding spots amongst plants. Ideal for beginners, communities of small fish, and as tank mates for timid or delicate fish.
