(Cope, 1870)

The glass bloodfin tetra, Prionobrama filigera, is a species of Characid fish native to the Amazon River basin of South America.

Nutrition[edit]

In the wild this fish eats mainly aquatic insect larvae and crustaceans. In an aquarium they will readily adapt to a diet of commercial dry fish foods, but benefit from a variety of food including both live and frozen foods such as daphnia and bloodworms.

Aquarium care[edit]

The glass bloodfin tetra is a community tank fish that would do best in a group of at least 8 fish. A well planted aquarium with a volume of 15 US gallons (57 L) would make an ideal home for this species.

Breeding[edit]

Prionobrama filigera will breed successfully in harder and more alkaline water than most tetra species. A pH of 7.3 and 10 degrees of hardness is suitable, but not the much harder water the adults can live in. It is an egg scattering species that will eat its own eggs.
