Oh yeah also,they like blackwater so if they seem a bit nervous,get some oak leaves and throw them in the water.It will stain it,and then slowly change out the dark into clear.

Re: Glowlight tetras
Yeah their floating now in the tank and like last week my harlequins are going nuts. LOL
PS. Are they known to nip because half the tank mates including 2 of the one I got have bites taken out of their dorsal fins.

Re: Glowlight tetras
My glowlights are pretty skittish. You should consider putting them in the tank after lights out. It might minimize the stress.

Re: Glowlight tetras
I had a group with a plakat and he was fine with them.He would chace them out of his spot but other than that they all got along just fine.

Re: Glowlight tetras
My harlequins are chasing them away the glowlight tetras are standing up now. They have a home turf. LOL It is prettty fun to watch, just one glowlight is trapped in the corner. It keeps trying to sneak away. But fails. You can also see some glowlights trying to get it out. They litterally try to sneak back to their home turf. It is like capture the flag. LOL

Re: Glowlight tetras
I always keep a few of them in my community tank and breed them, occasionally. They are pretty hardy tetras. Breeding them is moderately difficult. I never prepare any special water for them for keeping, but breeding them requires soft water. This is one of my favorite fish species.
