Freshwater Fish
Glo-lite Tetra.
A peaceful little tetra with a glowing copper-orange line down a translucent body — soft and luminous in a school. Beginner-easy and community-safe; a group glows best in a planted 10-gallon-plus tank with subdued light.

Good tank mates
The glo-lite tetra is peaceful and community-safe, a great fit for a calm nano or community tank with other small, gentle fish: small tetras like ember or neon tetras, harlequin and other small rasboras, corydoras, and small peaceful livebearers. Avoid fin-nippers, much larger or aggressive fish, and anything big enough to eat a fish this small. Keep a group of six or more so they school and color up.
Good to know
The glowlight tetra comes from the Essequibo River region of Guyana, and its glowing copper-orange line is its natural coloration, not an artificial dye or genetic modification.
