Description

The lemon tetra (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis) is a small, fresh water fish and an old favorite among aquarists. These fish are native to Brazil, and were first collected for the aquarium trade in 1937 – making them among the oldest of modern aquarium fish.

Lemon tetras inhabit clear water, with a moderate current, and tend to dwell in the shallows near to shore. They are often found in heavily vegetated areas of narrow, overgrown streams, and this environment should be recreated as closely as possible in the home aquarium.

These fish stay relatively small, and grow to a maximum of 2 inches (5 centimeters). On average, they live for around 6 years in captivity, though well cared individuals can quite easily live for 8 years or longer.

Maximum Size: 2 inches (5 cm)

柠檬灯鱼在售卖的时候颜色较朴素的情况很多，但是如果饲养的很好的话，身体可变成透明的柠檬色。最近大部分市面上所卖的是从东南亚养殖场购入，因为低廉的价格所以流通较广泛。饲养较容易，因为有喜欢水草的倾向，这点应当注意。性格较安分，所以可以与其它鱼类共养，也有性格胆小的一面，如果缸内水草较少时会感到不安定感，喂养生饲料身体也有变成黄色的情况。
 
繁殖较容易且在水草中产卵，不对水草进行修剪只是这么搁置的话，会有自然产卵的情况发生。人工繁殖的情况，如果不拿掉产卵盒子的话，会被其它鱼儿吃掉。如果使用一般水族店内售卖的产卵盒子较好。柠檬灯鱼本来喜欢弱酸性的水质，但是现在进口的大部分来自东南亚的养殖场，对水质不必过多的关心。野生的情况，寿命一般可达到5年，因为是较结实的种类，对于一般初学者比较合适。
