Hyphessobrycon amandae

Hyphessobrycon amandae is a small, peaceful, and vibrant schooling fish that's perfect for planted aquariums. Their vivid orange coloration makes them a popular choice among aquarists looking for a visually appealing addition to their community tanks. They thrive in setups that mimic their natural habitat, featuring dense vegetation and slow-moving waters. Although these fish are hardy and relatively easy to care for, attention to water quality and consistency in temperature and chemistry is crucial for optimal health. Ember Tetras are best kept in groups of at least six to promote natural behavior and minimize stress. Ideal tank mates include other small, non-aggressive species like other Tetras, Rasboras, and small catfish. Feeding should be based on a varied diet, combining high-quality flake food, micro pellets, and live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, or bloodworms. The aquascape should be enriched with hideouts and open swimming spaces.
