Head and Tail Light Tetra

Hemigrammus ocellifer is a classic, chic tetra from northern South America. Named for their iridescent tail and shoulder spots, these may not be the most overtly colkourful tetra, but they look quite effective in a large shoal. Like all tetras they do best in groups, with 6 or more being ideal.

These are juveniles around 0.75-1" long.
