Overview

The Neon Tetra (*Paracheirodon innesi*) is instantly recognizable by its dazzling iridescent blue stripe running horizontally from nose to tail, complemented by a striking red stripe along its lower body, beginning mid-body. These small, torpedo-shaped fish are a marvel in any aquarium. They are active, peaceful schooling fish that truly flourish when kept in groups of six or more, displaying synchronized swimming patterns that add dynamic beauty to your aquatic display.

Care Level

Easy to moderate care, Neon Tetras are peaceful and thrive in stable conditions. They are excellent community fish, best kept in schools of six or more with other small, non-aggressive species. Avoid larger, predatory tank mates.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 40-litre aquarium is ideal for a school of Neon Tetras, offering ample swimming space. Use dense live plants and a dark substrate to enhance their vibrant colours under subdued lighting. Stable water parameters are crucial for these healthy aquarium fish.

Diet

Neon Tetras are omnivores. Offer high-quality flake or micro-pellet food daily, supplemented with live or frozen options like brine shrimp, daphnia, or small bloodworms for optimal health and vibrant colours.
