DESCRIPTION:
The Green Neon Tetra is a beautiful, peaceful species that is best maintained in groups of 6 or more fish in a softwater aquarium. Tankmates, if desired, should consist of small fish only, and which are of a similar disposition. Green Neon Tetras appreciate rooted and floating plant cover to help diffuse some of the light.
Green neon tetras are a favorite fish for aquascapers because their glowing blue stripe is so eye-catching yet doesn’t take away from the beauty of the aquarium plants
