🐟 Neon Tetra Paracheirodon innesi
Blue & Red • Peaceful • Beginner Friendly
 
📋 The Neon Tetra is one of the most iconic freshwater aquarium fish in the world. It features a bright blue iridescent stripe and a red tail band that makes it instantly recognizable.
Compared to the Cardinal Tetra, the red coloration only extends halfway along the body, making the two easy to distinguish. Neon Tetras are peaceful schooling fish, best kept in groups of 6 or more.
They thrive in well-planted community aquariums, are hardy, and their small size and vivid colors make them a staple in the aquarium hobby.
