Head and Tail Light Tetra (Hemigrammus ocellifer)

Overview

A vintage staple of the hobby, the Head and Tail Light Tetra is named for its two shimmering, copper-gold spots that catch the light like little beacons—one right above the eye, and one at the base of the tail fin. The rest of the body is a clean, translucent silver-amber. They are incredibly gentle, unassuming, and slow-paced schoolers. If your customers are building a low-stress, heavily planted community tank with peaceful tank mates like guppies or honey gouramis, this hardy species fits right in.
