I bought a school of Pristella Tetras for my 40-litre tank. They are very active and their golden color really brightens up the water. Easy to care for and don’t stress other fish. Great for a small community setup.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active after a week. They do best in groups, so I kept five together. The transparent bodies with yellow highlights are stunning. I’d recommend them to new fishkeepers.

Perfect for a small tank. They don’t need much food and stay calm around other fish. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still vibrant and healthy.
