Nice, you could have now an unlimited source of ember tetras if you wish to! I also thought they were more delicate compared to other tetras, so I might give them a chance in the near future, thanks for sharing!
Dear Bo: Hyphessobrycon species, such as the ember tetra (Hyphessobrycon amandae); are much hardier than Paracheirodon species, such as the neon tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) and cardinal tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi). Also, the eggs of Hyphessobrycon species are not photo-sensitive, so they are easier, to breed. I wonder if breeders will select-breed ember tetra, to exhibit a true, red coloration. I believe this would be very attractive and highly, sought after. Thank you, for sharing this interesting and informative video. I’m very impressed, with the vegetation, in your, planted tank; especially the carpet of dwarf hair grass (Eleocharis parvula). All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Thanks, Brinegar, for your continued support! Just as I mentioned in the video, the color of the ember tetra doesn't always exhibit such a red coloration; it will change depending on the water quality. Additionally, a black background can help enhance the color.
Dear Bo: If breeders select the reddest specimens, of ember tetra, from successive spawns; the resultant fish may approach red, rather than orange. I tried to select-breed fancy guppies, to exhibit only blue and black coloration (see UA-cam video: “Blue Guppies in a Shot Glass 2-16-19”). I thought I had succeeded. However, as they aged, some specimens exhibited orange. Thank you, for all you do, for the FishFam Community. Sincerely, Brinegar
Hey Bo! I did my first tetra breeding project with Lapis tetra and the first batch was all unfertilized, as expected. Gonna keep trying but how long should I condition them before reattempting this? Your video about them inspired me! Thank you.
Hey my friend, I think you did a great job on your first breeding attempt! I'm sure in your next attempt, you will get fry. This is something I always encountered when I first bred my new tetra. I'm happy to know that my video was helpful, and thanks for your comment!

Эта рыба очень крепкая и совсем не нежная.
@@Юрий-ф5б3о Я бы, пожалуй, дал им шанс, они очень хорошо смотрятся в аквариумах с растениями. 🙂
@@Sinserg у меня их 15 штук, ни одна не умерла за 6 месяцев

Thanks, Sergio, for your comment! Yes, the Ember tetra is the easiest tetra to breed, and I'm sure you'll also get tons of fry if you try. Good luck!
