Neon Tetra

Your live fish or rock may not match the image shown due to natural variations in each species. Each companion animal is different in shape, color, and personality.

 

Neon Tetra

The Neon Tetra is a shimmering blue with a blazing red tail. Although not recommended for new tanks, these fish are splendid additions to any community tank. As a schooling fish it does best when housed in groups of five or more of the same species in a tank with several hiding spots. Often confused with the Cardinal Tetra, the Neon Tetra has a red stripe that ends halfway from the nose of the fish, where the Cardinal has a longer red stripe. Slow acclimation is highly recommended for these fish as they are sensitive to changes in their water quality.

A wide variety of foods is essential for good health. This should include a mix of some of the following: flakes, pellets, freeze dried foods, herbivore foods, carnivore specific foods, brine shrimp, blood worms, and many live or frozen foods.
