They have a slightly translucent body with a silver stripe running along the lateral line, and males often display more vibrant colors, especially during breeding.

We Recommend:

These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.

Behavior and Compatibility:

Lemon Tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 to feel secure, which also enhances their natural behavior and color display. They are peaceful and can be housed with other non-aggressive fish of similar size and water parameter requirements, such as other tetras, rasboras, small corydoras, and peaceful bottom dwellers. Avoid larger, aggressive fish that might see them as snacks.
