 Feeding the lemon tetra poses few problems for the aquarist, as the fish readily and eagerly devours all fish foods offered to it.For prime conditioning (especially if captive reproduction is to be attempted) live foods such as "Daphnia" should be offered.The lemon tetra is particularly fond of live bloodworms (these are the aquatic larvae of "Chironomus" midges) and will attack this particular food item with a relish that has to be witnessed to be fully appreciated!
