The fish looks stunning with its bright head and vibrant body. It’s peaceful and blends well with my planted tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and healthy.

Much more colorful than regular Neon Tetras. The head shine is noticeable even in low light. Great addition to my community tank with guppies and dwarf corydoras.
Madeleine Grant –
Looks beautiful and stays calm. I noticed the color is more vivid than standard Neon Tetras, especially in the morning light. A little more expensive, but worth it for the appearance.

I bought this for my beginner tank. It’s easy to care for and doesn’t stress other fish. The color is sharp and stands out without being flashy.
