Care instructions


What fish can live with Ember Tetras?: They are a community fish, and do fine with any similar sized, peaceful fish that won't eat them. Such as rasboras, tetras, danios etc. Since they swim around the middle of the aquarium, they go well with bottom dwelling fish like corydoras and otocinclus, as well as surface dwelling fish like pencilfish. 


What do Ember Tetras eat?: They are omnivores and don't tend to be picky eaters. They eat tiny, slow sinking foods. A varied diet of different fish foods is essential for them to get plenty of nutrients and vitamins to stay healthy.
