Lemon Tetra Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis

The Lemon Tetra is native to clear, shallowish water of the Tapajos river basin and part of the Amazon.

The lemon yellow or silver body is often transparent and the fish has a bright red upper eye-ring.

The fish grows to some 5 cm long. Much of the diet is insects that fall onto the water surface. Lemon Tetras are shoaling fish that gather in large shoals.
