Product Description:
Scientific and common names: The Lemon Tetra, scientifically known as Hyphessobrycon Pulchripinnis, is a popular South American Tetra species.

Habitat: Lemon Tetras are native to the Amazon River basin in South America. They are typically found in slow-moving rivers, streams, and flooded areas with dense vegetation.

Tank setup: These tetras thrive in a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots. A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space. It is important to maintain stable water parameters, including a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C) and a pH level of 5.5-7.5.

Diet and nutrition: Lemon Tetras are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality flake or pellet food supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.

Size and growth rate: Lemon Tetras typically reach a size of 1.5-2 inches (3.8-5 cm) in length. They have a moderate growth rate and can live for several years with proper care.

Behavioral traits: These tetras are peaceful and social, making them suitable for community aquariums. They are known for their active swimming behavior and schooling nature, so it is recommended to keep them in groups of at least six individuals.

Care level: Lemon Tetras are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced fish keepers. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and a balanced diet are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and reproduction: Lemon Tetras are egg scatterers and can be bred in a separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants or a spawning mop. The parents should be removed after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs. The eggs will hatch in approximately 24-36 hours, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or commercially available fry food.

Health and disease prevention: Maintaining good water quality and providing a balanced diet are crucial for preventing diseases. Regular observation and prompt action in case of any signs of illness are recommended. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal water conditions: Lemon Tetras prefer soft and slightly acidic water conditions. The ideal water parameters include a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), pH level of 5.5-7.5, and hardness of 2-10 dGH.

Lifespan: With proper care, Lemon Tetras can live for approximately 3-5 years. Providing a suitable environment, a balanced diet, and regular maintenance will contribute to their longevity.
