Freshwater Fish
Glass Bloodfin Tetra.
A near-transparent tetra with a flash of red in the tail — understated and elegant in a planted school. Peaceful and beginner-friendly; group them in a 20-gallon-plus tank where the light catches their bodies.

Good tank mates
Peaceful and community-safe, so it fits a calm community of similarly-sized, easygoing fish. Good companions include other small peaceful tetras, rasboras, corydoras, peaceful gouramis, and livebearers like platies or guppies. Keep it in a school of six or more so it feels secure, and avoid fin-nippers, much larger or aggressive fish, and anything small enough for it to swallow or large enough to swallow it.
Good to know
The glass bloodfin tetra has a body so translucent you can see right through it, with the red color concentrated in its tail, where it flashes as the school moves together.
