Glowlight Tetra Tank Setup

Aim for a spacious tank of at least 70 liters with a mix of open swimming areas and dense vegetation to encourage natural behavior. Soft substrate can be beneficial, and gentle filtration will maintain water quality without creating excessive flow. Moderate lighting can enhance their colors while providing an inviting atmosphere for exploration and foraging.

Ideal companions include similarly sized, non-aggressive fish such as other tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids.
