This listing is for one Green Neon Tetra.
The Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) is a visually striking and peaceful fish that's relatively easy to care for. It's best kept either in species-only tanks or with small, non-aggressive tankmates.
As a schooling fish, it's recommended to keep 8-10 individuals to reduce shyness and encourage natural, interesting behavior. These fish have subtle variations, appealing to aquarists seeking something a bit different.
In appearance, the Green Neon Tetra closely resembles the Neon Tetra but is smaller, slimmer, and has a less pronounced red patch. Its body is a silvery-grey with a bright turquoise-green stripe running along both sides. The only hint of red is around the head, caudal fin, and ventral area.
They grow to a maximum overall length of approximately 3-4 cm (1.6 in) and love to school in groups of at least 5. Because they are a tad bigger than neon tetras, we have successfully kept ours with medium-sized community fish like angelfish and gouramis. They also get along with smaller, peaceful fish like rasboras, other tetras, and corydoras.
