Lemon Tetra

[steeler1]

Here is a fish I don't see discussed here very much.
This is fish that has a lot going for it. Small, peaceful, fairly hardy as long as thier water is not to hard and high in Ph. Their shape makes them able to be kept with larger fish. Though a loose schooler, they still stay together better then most tetras once they settle in to their tank.
I've never seen them as yellow as some pics, mine usualy looks like the photo I've included here. Their overall color is not as bright as some of thier cousins but they are a great contrast fish to Harlaquins, Neons and especially Cardinals. I saw a dealer tank once that only had about a hundred Cards and an even number of Lemons that was awesome.
Although they are not a begginer fish they are great for the slightly more advanced fishkeeper.
