Tetra - Head & Tail Light

The Head & Tail Light Tetra is a peaceful and attractive freshwater fish, named for the distinctive reflective spots on its head and near the base of its tail. Its subtle silver body and shimmering markings create a beautiful display as it swims in a group.

This active schooling fish is ideal for planted aquariums and peaceful community tanks. Keep in groups of at least 6 to encourage natural schooling behaviour and help the fish feel secure. Provide clean, stable water conditions, open swimming space and aquatic plants for shelter.
