Diamond Head Neon Tetra (Tank-Bred)
To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.
These Diamond Head Neon Tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) are a beautiful morph of the regular Neon tetra with blue heads and bright red tails, truly stunning! The main difference between the Diamond Head Neon Tetras and the regular Neon Tetras is that their heads “glow” instead of having a neon stripe down their bodies. Growing no larger than 2 inches, these beauties are a great candidate for a smaller tank.
These non-aggressive fish are a very popular addition to a community aquarium. Alternatively, a large school of them swimming as a unit makes for a vibrant and dynamic display.

Received my Diamond Head Neon Tetras in perfect condition. The blue heads are very striking and they swim together in a beautiful school. Easy to care for and peaceful in my 10-gallon tank. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a colorful, calm fish.

The fish arrived quickly and looked healthy. The glowing heads are a nice contrast to the red tails. I kept them with other small community fish and they haven’t shown any aggression. Just need a bit of space to swim freely.

These fish are exactly as described. The coloration is vibrant and they form a nice group display. I’ve had them for two months and they’re still active and healthy. Great addition to a small tank.
