红裙灯为脂鲤科鱼类，温和的 mid-water 群游鱼，数量越多越自信，原生分布于南美洲及菲律宾。体色是诚实的状态信号：发色差、分散就是在告诉你哪里不对。成体约 3–4.4 cm，至少 8 尾，越多越好，适宜水温 22–26 °C。群要大，光要柔。
Hyphessobrycon eques is a Characidae from 南美洲及菲律宾. Its colours are honest signalling: pale, scattered fish are telling you something is wrong. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 3–4.4 cm. Groups of 8 minimum; more is visibly better. Keep a proper school, dim the glare, and feed small foods several times a day. Maintain 22–26 °C at pH 5–7.8. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
