Lemon Tetra

Description

This pale-yellow fish with red eyes is very beautiful against a background of green weeds. It is the Lemon Tetra, only a little bigger than a halfpenny, but quick and lively. Trying to catch it is no easy matter, for it knows its way about the underwater maze of weeds in the aquarium and darts off into them. If it were not so nimble, it would have a hard time of it at home, for its longer enemies would soon eat it up. But this fish got away and came instead to grace our aquarium.
