Glass Bloodfin (Prionobrama filigera)
The Glass Bloodfin is a striking tetra species that earns its name from its translucent body and bright, reddish-orange fins that appear almost glowing. This peaceful species is highly active and thrives in schools, where it adds motion and excitement to the tank. Their translucent nature makes them a great choice for planted or aquascaped aquariums, where they can be admired for their unique look. The Glass Bloodfin is hardy, adaptable, and easy to care for, making it a good choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are peaceful and do well with other non-aggressive species.
