The Lemon tetra is a beautiful, peaceful community species which is best kept in groups of 6 or more. They may not always show their best colours in shop stock tanks, but once settled into the home aquarium, their yellow tones will intensify, especially when kept in blackwater set ups. As with many deeper-bodied tetras, social behaviour usually features males defending their personal space against rivals and displaying to passing females. Generations of captive breeding have produced sturdy, adaptable fish that are suitable for a range of aquaria including those housing large non-predatory cichlids such as eartheaters.
Please note that some fish may be in limited supply or out of stock. If this happens, we kindly ask for your patience while we restock. If we're unable to fulfill your order promptly, we will contact you to suggest alternatives or arrange a refund.
