Glowlight Tetra: Add a Peaceful, Glowing Stripe to Your Aquarium

Illuminate your freshwater tank with the serene beauty of the Glowlight Tetra. These small, peaceful schooling fish bring a vibrant, iridescent stripe to any community setup.

Overview

The Glowlight Tetra (*Hemigrammus erythrozonus*) is cherished for its striking appearance. Its translucent, silvery-peach body is adorned with a prominent, iridescent red-gold stripe running from its snout to the tail, reminiscent of a glowing filament. This peaceful species maintains a small, slender profile, typically reaching up to 4 cm, making it an excellent choice for adding a gentle splash of colour and active schooling behavior to your aquarium.

Care Level

Easy to care for, Glowlight Tetras are perfect for both novice and experienced aquarists looking for healthy aquarium fish. They are highly peaceful and thrive in groups of at least six or more, fostering their natural schooling instincts and reducing stress. They are compatible with most other small, non-aggressive species.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 60-litre aquarium is recommended for a happy school of Glowlight Tetras. Provide a well-planted environment with open swimming areas and subdued lighting to best showcase their colours. Maintain a stable temperature of 22–28°C and a pH range of 6.0–7.5.

Diet

As omnivores, Glowlight Tetras readily accept a varied diet. Offer high-quality crushed flakes or micro pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms for optimal health and vibrant coloration.
