Ember Tetras

[Dave Spencer]

I am setting up a 60l tank that will essentially be a planted landscape. What I am after is a shoal of small, inconspicuous fish to compliment the scape and Ember Tetras came to mind. What is the maximum they will grow to? Lemon Tetras also look ideal, but they may get too big. Can anybody recommend any others that might be siutable?

I have done my research, but sometimes the size given doesn`t correspond to the reality.

Cheers, Dave.

My lfs has some in and they are all 0.5 inches .
