I have a big school of about 50 of these guys in my 120p (300L) aquarium. They school fantastic, McMerwe’s livestock is absolute top notch as always.

These little Ember Tetras have become my new favorite nano schooling fish. The quality of McMerwe’s livestock is always top-grade! These little guys have such character, and have become a real feature in our tetra community tank – they just always seem happy, and excited every time they see us.

Beautiful fish in a nano planted aquarium. I also have peace of mind when I buy fish here, because they were quarantined.

Although not the most colourful in a community tank, these little fish have taken up residence quite happily – very healthy and active.
