|tank_compatibility=:The Glowlight Tetra can be kept with fish with long fins such as [[Betta splendens]] as they are not generally fin nippers as they are one of the more peaceful Tetras. It is not recommended they be kept with anything larger than a [[Blue Gourami]], but successful attempts have been recorded. Glowlight Tetras are peaceful and shoaling fish that should be kept in groups of 6 or more, in groups less than 6 they may become shy and may even turn to fin nipping. It is slightly larger than the [[Neon Tetra]], and its peaceful disposition makes it an ideal and popular community fish. They should be kept with similar sized and non-aggressive species.
