Description

The green neon tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) is a freshwater fish of the family Characidae of order Characiformes. It frequents slower moving blackwater tributaries especially. It is native to the upper Orinoco and Negro Rivers in South America and can be found in great abundance all through these regions. Similar to the well known neon tetra, the green neon tetra features much less red alongside its flank when compared to its cousin. The obvious blue hue which is standard on the common neon tetra has been replaced by an electric pale green on these wonderful green neon nanofish. These fish are schooling fish and require numbers of their own kind to feel safe and secure. It is for this reason that at least 8 fish should be placed together in your aquarium, no matter the size. Keeping them in a heavily planted aquarium will see them settle right in and make your aquarium their new home. The specimens we have on offer are eating flake food with no issue and are healthy, vibrant and happy. This fish does not ship individually-bagged.
