The glass bloodfin tetra, Prionobrama filigera, is a characid recorded from the Amazon drainage in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. It is told from the other bloodfin tetra, Aphyocharax anisitsi, by its more elongate body and the lack of red in the anal and ventral fins. An active, pelagic species of the upper water layers, it grows to around 6 cm and should be kept in groups of at least six to eight.
