Glass Bloodfin Tetra (Prionobrama filigera)
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.
The Glass Bloodfin Tetra is a peaceful and active freshwater fish known for its distinctive transparent body and vibrant red fins. It is a popular choice for community aquariums due to its hardiness and manageable care requirements.
Like most Tetras, we recommend keeping these fish in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school. They will look especially stunning in a planted tank.
These fish are relatively easy to care for as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of water parameters.

Received my Glass Bloodfin Tetras in perfect condition. They were active and colorful from the start. I kept them in a 10-gallon planted tank with a group of 6. They swim together nicely and seem happy. Easy to maintain, no issues so far.

Great choice for a beginner aquarist. The transparent body and red fins are very striking. I kept them in a group of 7 with live plants. They’re peaceful and don’t stress other fish.
