Glowlight Tetra

Hemigrammus erythrozonus is a smaller tetra from Guyana. Glowlight tetras somewhat resemble the popular neon tetras, but with a metallic orange stripe instead of blue. These peaceful tetras mix well with pretty much any peaceful community fish but look best in a dim, acidic blackwater tank. In dark, tannin-stained water these fish's stripes are so bright and reflective they look like they are glowing.

These are juveniles around 0.75" long.
