The Golden Tetra is a unique species whose body appears dusted with gold due to reflective pigments beneath the scales. Its subtle beauty stands out particularly well in darkly decorated aquariums. Peaceful and social, it should be kept in groups and mixes well with other small community fish. Adults grow to about 1.5–2 inches (4–5 cm).
