OVERVIEW

The Ember Tetra is native to the Araguaia River Basin in South America. In the fish hobby, the majority of Ember Tetras available have been bred  in captivity, which ensures that the wild populations remain  unaffected. 

When it comes to selecting tankmates for Ember Tetras, there  are numerous community fish species that can coexist harmoniously with  them. Ember Tetras are naturally timid and prefer to be in a school, but  they can form schools with other small fish, including other small  tetras and Rasboras. Additionally, they thrive alongside peaceful  bottom-dwelling species such as plecos and corydoras.
