Ember Tetra The Ember Tetra is a small community fish that brings colour to a tropical aquarium. They are hardy so great for beginners and perfect for nano aquariums. Ember tetras will school with other tetras, such as the neon tetra, but may become stressed by the presence of significantly larger fish. Ember tetras are middle level swimmers in an aquarium, they don't feed from the bottom of the tank. It is recommended that they are kept with other bottom dwelling fish (such as pygmy corydoras) so that leftover food is then eaten up off the substrate and not left to waste.
