🐟 Albino Lemon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis)
A Pale, Translucent Body With Glowing Yellow Highlights and Vivid Red Eyes • A Selectively Bred Colour Morph of the Classic Lemon Tetra • Peaceful, Hardy and Beginner-Friendly
📋 The Albino Lemon Tetra is a striking colour morph of the popular Lemon Tetra, with a pale, translucent body, glowing yellow highlights, and vivid red eyes.
It comes from the same captive-bred lines as the standard Lemon Tetra, originally native to the Amazon Basin in South America. Every Albino Lemon Tetra we ship is feeding well.
This is a peaceful, hardy schooling fish, adding movement and colour to a planted community aquarium. Its calm temperament makes it ideal for hobbyists seeking an active, easy-care shoaling fish, and it thrives with stable water conditions and a proper group size. It reaches 4-5cm, so a 75L tank suits a school well.
