The Lemon Tetras are active and colorful in a 10-gallon tank. They form a nice school and don’t stress other fish. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

I kept them with other small community fish. They stay calm and swim together in a coordinated way. Just make sure the tank has plenty of plants and hiding spots.

Great addition to a community tank. They are hardy and adapt quickly to the aquarium environment. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still vibrant.
