Lemon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis)
The Lemon Tetra is a strikingly vibrant species known for its bright yellow coloration, which gives it a "lemon" appearance. These small, peaceful fish are often favored for their ability to bring a pop of color to aquariums. Their vivid yellow body is complemented by a subtle red tint on the fins, and they tend to display a gentle, schooling behavior. Lemon Tetras are ideal for community tanks and do well with other small, peaceful fish. Their calm nature and bright coloration make them an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add vibrancy to a peaceful tank setup.
