Remarks: Lemon Tetras (Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis) develop bright yellow bodies with red eyes as they age and settle into their tank. When young or stressed, they may appear to be white or gray fish without any color. To encourage their best colors to show, it is best to keep them in groups of 6 or more.
