Typical Tank setup: Well planted with rocks and driftwood/bogwood. They love playing in a moderate to strong current.

Compatibility: It is very common to find tetras with Corydoras as companions, as they are both quite peaceful and other tank mates like Guppies, other Tetras, Rasboras, Mollies & Platies

Sexing:  The female Lemon Tetra is a slightly larger adult fish and has a smaller, less distinct black edge to the anal fin than the male.
Breeding: Dimly lit tank with some fine leaved plants on the bottom to catch the eggs will encourage breeding. Be sure to remove parents after they have spawned to avoid them eating the eggs.
