Ember tetras are a beloved staple in the aquarium hobby, making fantastic additions to planted and community aquariums. Sitting on the podium alongside neon and rummy nose tetras, the embers are often the go-to fish to fill out an aquarium because of their calm behavior, schooling behavior, and vibrant orange colour.

Shy little fishThese fish were very shy in the first 2 days. They hide at the bottom corner behide the plants, but come out after lights go off. They feel more at ease after much larger fish are removed.

Happy asOrdered 5 of the endlers, they arrive a bit tired looking but after 10 mins in the tank they mingled well with the other 4 species of tetras and platys. They hang out in the group and play amongst the plants and rocks. Sometimes schooling with the rummy noses or neons. They get along with all my other fish very well. Colouration is nice and only took 15 mins to come out. Love them.

Safe and healthyOrdered 5 a couple of weeks ago. They are healthy no losses and full coloration which took 24hrs. They look very nice in my planted tank with the other tetras , gouramis, platies. I ordered 5 more and they are schooling now and the new additions all survived the trip with no losses also. Will return for some rummy nose to compete my set up. Thanks guys for the best service out there. Very impressed and will be recommending livefish.com to anyone looking for healthy fish great variety and extra fast shipping at a good price. Thanks guys.

SweetOrdered 10 & 9 made it. Better odds than the neons. Sweet little fish. 2 had parts of their tail fins missing but seem to be ok. They coloured up fairly quickly & once they started to school they happily attacked a bit of frozen brine shrimp. Have had the tank heavily planted for 2 years with only a few pond platys and my 2 "girls" - 6 and 10cm female bristlenoses and have finally got my kribs and bolivian butterflies (thank you Livefish) and wanted a nice school of little guys for a bit of colour and movement. These guys are delicately coloured and very sweet.

Great little fish!I bought 7 of these little cuties. All arrived alive & well. After a few days in the quarantine tank they moved into the show tank yesterday. They fitted straight in with my neon tetras and other small & peaceful fish. It's a pleasure to watch them dart through the tank when feeding. They are so quick & agile! I wish I could have more, but unfortunately my tank is already rather crowded.

They fitted straight in with my neon tetras and other small and peaceful fish. Most times they stay together but also venture out in twos or threes. It's a pleasure to watch these little guys as they dart through the tank when feeding. They are so quick & agile! I wish I could have more of them but my tank is already rather densely populated.

GreatI ordered 8 of these. They arrived a week ago in Perth at 5pm on the dot, all safe after spending the whole day in the delivery van in 40 degree heat! A week later they are fine, their colour is back and they are healthy and happy swimming around with my neons, apart from one little guy who still has no colour and is lurking around on its own, but still alive. Hopefully he will get better, but that's a pretty good result all things considered.

My namesake fish are really cool!Ok I did get these cos they are named after 'me' of course! However, these are really amazing little fish. I thought they would be quite timid and shy due to their tiny size, however, they are extremely curious and zip around the tank without a care. They school and play together or are happy on their own, they even play in the filter water with the guppies and swim at all levels of the tank! Highly recommend these guys, probably my favourite tetra!
