Fish Crazy
The embers are getting braver at last
To help them venture out more, I would suggest areas of cover using floating plants. Byron, who was great at promoting fish wellbeing, pointed this out to me when I kept embers a few years back in an iwagumi scape (stupid decision on my part).
Not so shy now. Taken two weeks.
At my place when I entered them for the first time to my least killifish tank, they were not shy at all. And they still aren't. I also think it's got to do with what type of fish you'll combine them for them to swim freely.

The Ember Tetras are near the bottom for good reason--they are stressed by the overhead light. This is common with most forest fish species. Floating plants solve this problem, I suppose taller plants might too, depending.
There's a couple floating plants plus a third which is an oxygenator arriving tomorrow.To help them venture out more, I would suggest areas of cover using floating plants.
