Received the Green Neon Tetras in good condition. They were active and colorful in the tank. The instructions about black water conditions were clear and helpful. Easy to care for and very attractive in a community tank.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active after a week. I followed the black water setup guide and they seem to be adjusting well. A bit shy at first but now they swim together nicely.

Great addition to my aquarium. The green coloration stands out well. They eat the flake food easily and don’t require special feeding. Very hardy and calm in the tank.
