Added a group of Glowlight Tetra to my 50-liter tank with other peaceful fish. They swim together in a lively school and add vibrant colour. Easy to care for and active throughout the day. Only keep them in a group to avoid stress.

The fish are beautiful and active. I kept them in a group of 8 with similar-sized fish. They don’t show aggression, but I make sure the tank is well-planted to avoid fin nipping.

Great addition to a community tank. They swim in coordinated patterns and stay calm with other fish. I noticed they grow to about 3 cm after a few months. Always keep them in a group for best results.
