GLOLITE TETRA
$6.99
The Glowlight Tetra is one of the most popular of all Tetras as it’s peaceful and easy to care for. Small and slender, they reach an adult size of only an inch and a half in length. The translucent silvery-peach colored body of the Glowlight Tetra is divided by an iridescent red-gold stripe running from snout to tail. The stripe resembles the glowing filament in a light bulb, hence the common name of Glowlight. The same iridescent red color is present on the leading edge of the dorsal fin while the anal and pelvic fins are edged in snow white.
The Glowlight Tetra is absolutely gorgeous and surprisingly easy to care for. Originating in the rivers of Guyana, it is easygoing and peaceful and can survive in a fairly wide range of aquarium setting. Because they are schooling fish, you’ll want to purchase at least six Glowlight Tetras at the same time.
