Embers have always been one of, if not my favorite, of all the tetras.
When they mature, are well cared for & comfortable with their surroundings & tank-mates if any, they take on the most beautiful orange/rust coloration.

I've kept them in 2 separate tanks, one with CPD's (celestial pearl danios /galaxy rasboras), and the other with 3 types of Boraras - both were very nice displays.

CPD's are awesome, especially if you provide them with a reasonably well-planted tank, so they feel comfortable having some hiding areas, as they can be shy at first until they feel comfortable with their surroundings (and tank-mates).
And you'll be particularly rewarded and amazed when they get larger and more mature - at which time their coloration becomes really breath-taking !
