Ember Tetra – Freshwater Nano Aquarium Fish Overview
The Ember Tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae), also known as Fire, Dwarf Red, or Amanda’s Tetra, is a peaceful and vibrant nano fish. Its bright ember-orange coloration on a semi-transparent body makes it a standout in planted and community aquariums. Small and schooling by nature, it is ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists seeking a striking addition to their tank.
