I added a Lyretail Neon Tuxedo to my 10-liter planted tank. The fish is vibrant and very active. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress other tank mates. Water temperature is kept at 25°C, and it’s been thriving for over two months.

The neon color stands out in my small aquarium. I keep it in a planted setup with java fern. It’s hardy and doesn’t need much maintenance. Just make sure the water isn’t too warm.
