Smaller and more delicate than the common Neon Tetra, this species creates an impressive shimmering display when maintained in a proper school, especially in planted or blackwater-style aquariums with subdued lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Neon Tetras are extremely peaceful and should be maintained in groups where they feel secure and display their natural schooling behavior. They naturally prefer warm, soft, acidic water and are more sensitive to unstable conditions than many common community tetras. A mature, established aquarium with consistent water parameters is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful \/ Schooling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 0.8–1 inch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 gallons recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5–6.5 preferred\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore \/ Micropredator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Group Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 or more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e A mature, well-established aquarium with soft, acidic water, gentle filtration, and plenty of plant cover. Dark substrate, driftwood, leaf litter, floating plants, and subdued lighting can help recreate their natural environment while making their iridescent coloration stand out. Keep Green Neon Tetras with other small, peaceful species and avoid large or aggressive tank mates. Feed appropriately sized foods such as quality micro pellets, finely crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, cyclops, and other small frozen or live foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green Neon Tetras naturally vary in size, sex, coloration, and overall appearance. Newly transported or stressed fish may initially display reduced coloration and can develop stronger blue-green iridescence after becoming established. Male and female fish are selected at random, and a specific sex or ratio cannot be guaranteed. The fish you receive may not look exactly like the individual pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll livestock from Felipe’s Fish is carefully selected and prepared for safe transport.
