Overview

Ember Tetras bring a warm orange glow to a planted aquarium. Their tiny adult size makes careful choice of companions especially important. Supplied size: 1.5–2cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

Shoaling fish that need companions of their own species. Keep at least eight to ten together, with plants for cover and open swimming room.

Tank Size

We recommend at least 50 litres with a 45–60cm base for a shoal, with more space for tankmates. Adults reach around 2cm.

Compatibility

Choose peaceful companions of appropriate size and water requirements. Avoid fish large enough to swallow them.

Diet

Offer fine flakes or small granules with suitable small frozen or live invertebrates.

Care

Maintain stable water around 23–27°C, pH 5.5–7 and soft water. Use a mature filter and acclimatise gradually. Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
