Fish L Tetra Neon 2.5cm

The Neon Tetra is one of the most iconic and beloved aquarium fish in the world, and for good reason. With their instantly recognisable vivid blue and red stripes, these stunning little fish bring life, colour and movement to any freshwater aquarium. Consistently ranking among the top three most popular aquarium fish globally, the Neon Tetra has been a staple of the aquarium hobby for decades and is often the very first tropical fish people choose to keep. Inexpensive, hardy and easy to care for, they are an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

Peaceful and social by nature, Neon Tetras must be kept in groups of at least six to display their natural schooling behaviour and feel secure in their environment. They thrive in well-planted aquariums with stable water parameters and gentle filtration, and their small 2.5cm size makes them perfectly suited to nano tanks, planted setups and larger community aquariums. They also make a spectacular display in a species-only blackwater aquarium where their colours truly pop against dark substrate and tannin-stained water.
