The head and tail light tetra is a very nice looking fish that gets to 2''. It has a reddish edging on the upper half of its eyes under the right lighting and conditions, and an attractive black and gold spot on the base of the tail. It is a peaceful fish, despite its big appetite and ability to eat relatively large flakes. I don't know if it's just my tetras, but they don't seem to swim around much. They will occasionally chase each other around, though it's nothing serious. It is best kept in shoals of 6+, though I only have 5 and mine don't shoal unless stressed.
