The yellow tetra, Hyphessobrycon bifasciatus, is a characid from coastal rivers of southeastern Brazil between Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Sul. It also occurs in parts of the upper Paraná basin, in floodplain tributaries, lakes and streams, usually under forest cover. Two vertically elongate humeral spots, the front one more prominent, help separate it from similar congeners. Generally peaceful, it is best kept as a group of 8-10 or more.
