Neon Tetra

The Neon Tetra, or Blue Neon Tetra, is probably the most popular tropical fish today. And for good reason, they are hearty and very attractive in any community aquarium. You can find a neon tetra in almost any fish supply store. The females are usually a little fatter and the blue line will not be as straight. The blue neon tetra likes to be kept in groups of six or more in an aquarium with some plants. Make sure to do regular water changes and you'll have a lot of success with this peaceful fish.

Neon Tetra Breeding:  Use a larger aquarium and keep the temperature about 75F. The PH should be about 5-6. Reduce the lighting by adding floating plants and put some moss, or fake moss, on the floor of the aquarium. After they lay the eggs the adults should be removed and the eggs should hatch in about a day. Feed the newly hatched fish regularly.
