Luminous Beauty for Peaceful Community Aquariums
The Glowlight Tetra is a small, peaceful schooling fish with a glowing orange-red stripe that runs from its nose to its tail — reminiscent of a neon light, especially under soft aquarium lighting. Native to the clear waters of the Essequibo River in Guyana, this classic favorite brings understated elegance and shimmering contrast to any community tank.
Ideal for beginner and experienced aquarists alike, Glowlight Tetras are hardy, adaptable, and thrive in planted aquariums where their vibrant stripe stands out against darker backgrounds.
