Received my Lemon Tetras in perfect condition. They were active and healthy when I received them. The yellow coloration is vibrant and they swim together in a nice school. Easy to set up and very peaceful in my 20-gallon tank.

These fish are exactly as described. Bright yellow and very active. I kept them in a community tank with neon tetras and they get along well. No aggression, just beautiful movement.

The fish arrived quickly via UPS. They seem healthy and are swimming well. I’m happy with the color and behavior. A bit shy at first, but settled in after a few days.
