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.

Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and to keep the fish happy in transit!
