Care instructions

What fish can live with Glowlight Tetras?: Bottom-dwellers may make a good tankmate as they will eat up any food that the Glowlights miss. They like being with their kind in at least six, or with other small and peaceful species, but will not school with them. Slower moving fish or those with long fins will be safe around Glowlights. Except for Angelfish, they would likely view these little tetras as an snack. Fast moring fish mya cause stress to your Glowlights.

What do Glowlight Tetras eat?: They eat all types of food, but a well-rounded diet will encourage a healthy lifestyle, and promote colourings. Because of their size, they will need small-sized pellets or flake foods. Small quantities should be fed frequently so that they can consume enough food, but not fall to the bottom of the tank, as Glowlights will not go for it. A varied diet of different fish foods is essential for them to get plenty of nutrients and vitamins to stay healthy.
