KH Level:
To maintain stability, keep the carbonate hardness (KH) level between 1 to 4 dKH for Neon Tetras.

Feeding:
Neon Tetras are omnivorous and accept a variety of foods. Offer them a balanced diet comprising high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional treats like live or frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms.

Tank Mates:
These peaceful and sociable fish thrive in the company of their own species. Neon Tetras also get along well with other peaceful community fish like guppies, danios, and rasboras.

Sexing:
Distinguishing between male and female Neon Tetras can be challenging. However, mature females are often plumper, while males appear slimmer and more vibrant.

Breeding:
Breeding Neon Tetras can be a rewarding experience. Provide them with ample hiding spots, a well-maintained breeding tank, and a nutritious diet to encourage successful spawning.

Maximum Size and Longevity:
Neon Tetras typically reach a maximum size of around 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). With proper care, they can live for approximately 5 to 8 years, bringing years of joy to your aquarium.

General Information:
Neon Tetras are native to the freshwater streams of South America and are known for their striking neon blue and red coloration. They are peaceful and active swimmers, creating a lively and vibrant display in your aquarium.
