Neon Tetras

Neon Tetras are one of the most popular freshwater fish, loved for their vibrant blue stripe and bright red lower body. Their shimmering colours stand out beautifully in planted aquariums, especially when kept in schools.
They are peaceful fish that should always be kept in groups to promote natural behaviour and reduce stress. Neon Tetras thrive in stable, well-maintained aquariums with gentle filtration and slightly dim lighting.
Ideal for community tanks, they pair well with other small, non-aggressive species. Their small size and calm temperament make them suitable for nano, small, and medium aquariums.
