It comes from the Rio das Mortes system in the Araguaia drainage of central Brazil, a region of slow, plant-choked backwaters. Colour deepens noticeably over a dark substrate and among dense planting, and washes out over bright gravel or in a bare tank. Like most small tetras it is a schooling species, staying in a loose group for security, and it only behaves naturally when kept in numbers, so plan on eight to ten as a minimum. It is very peaceful and, according to Seriously Fish, does not normally hunt the fry of other fish. In nature it is a micropredator, meaning it picks tiny invertebrates from the water, so it appreciates small live and frozen foods rather than a diet of flake alone. A quiet, well-planted tank with other small, calm fish shows it off best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"sz-acc__row\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"radio\" name=\"sz-acc-ember-tetra\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sz-acc__panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–28 °C and pH 5.0–7.0, hardness 1–10 dGH, so soft and slightly acidic.
