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.
Some fish need no introduction, and the Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) certainly falls into this category. With their eye-catching, blue, white, and neon red stripes running along their bodies, they are hard not to pay attention to! Growing no larger than 2 inches, these beauties are a great candidate for a smaller tank (we recommend 10 gallons as a minimum).
These non-aggressive fish are a very popular addition to a community aquarium. Alternatively, a large school of them swimming as a unit makes them a great choice for a centerpiece fish. They look stunning in groups.

I bought a school of Neon Tetras for my 10-gallon tank. They’ve been active and colorful since day one. The fish are peaceful and don’t stress other species. Easy to care for and add a lot of visual appeal.

Great addition to my community tank. They don’t fight with other fish and stay active throughout the day. The packaging was secure and the fish arrived healthy.
