The Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) is a close relative of the common Neon Tetra (P. innesi) and the Cardinal Tetra (P. axelrodi). It inhabits warm blackwater areas in Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia. It has typically been imported as wild-caught specimens, but we now have tank-bred specimens, which are typically more adaptable than their wild-caught counterparts.

Received the Green Neon Tetras in excellent condition. The blue-green coloration is striking and they seem very active in the tank. Tank-bred makes a big difference in how easy they are to keep. Very happy with the purchase.

The fish arrived quickly and were healthy. The color is more vivid than expected. I noticed they school well and are peaceful with other small tetras. A great addition to my community tank.

First time buying a tank-bred Green Neon Tetra. They’ve adapted well to my aquarium setup. The blue-green hue is beautiful and they’re active without being aggressive. Highly recommend.
