| Neon Tetra |
Scientific Name: Paracheirodon innesi
Origin: Columbia, Peru, Brazil
Temperature: 75-85 degree Fahrenheit
Food: Brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms, tubifex, plant matter, algae, flake food
Care: Neon tetras are mid-level schooling fish so they do best in groups of three or more. They enjoy a planted aquarium with hiding spots. Neon tetra can live 5-10 years. Sexing neon tetras is easier when you have a group of males and females. Male tetras tend to be slimmer and have a straight blue line. Females tend to have larger bellies and the blue line is bent due to their larger frame.
