Description

Glowlight tetras hail from Guyana, South America and grow to 4cm in length. They can be identified by their iridescent orange-red horizontal stripe that runs the length of their body- resembling a glowing light filament. Special requirements:

Glowlight tetras should be kept in groups of six or more. Larger groups help them to feel secure and display better colouration. Glowlight tetras prefer a planted tank with rocks, driftwood and lots of hiding places. They also require lots of free-swimming space in the mid to lower levels in the aquarium. Diet: Glowlight tetras are omnivores.

At Wirral Aquatics our Flame tetras enjoy a diet of EBO Pro Soft Artemia, Spirulina and Insect Meal as well as fresh and frozen brine shrimp and daphnia. Tank size: 50l + Tank mates: Great tank mates include other peaceful, non-aggressive species such as rasboras, corys, guppies and peaceful dwarf cichlids.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
