Ember Tetras (Hyphessobrycon amandae) are peaceful, schooling fish from the lower Amazon basin in central and western Brazil. In the wild they inhabit minor tributaries and lakes rather than main rivers. Their water is typically soft and slightly acidic due to organics breaking down in the water. Ember Tetras are best kept in heavily planted aquariums with a dark substrate.
