The Lemon tetra is a popular, peaceful community fish. They thrive in groups of 6 or more and prefer blackwater set-ups. They are easy to care for and can be housed with non-predatory cichlids. They originated in the Tapajos and Xingu river basins and come in various colors, including albino. They eat flakes, micropellets, and frozen foods, and their breeding may require multiple females.
