-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 10-20 gallons for a school of Neon Tetras (a group of 6 or more). They are small and thrive in groups.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.0, and soft to slightly acidic water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure excellent water quality and oxygenation. Neon Tetras prefer well-circulated water.
-
Aquascape: Decorate the tank with live plants, subdued lighting, and dark substrate to mimic their natural habitat. Provide hiding spots using plants and driftwood.
-
Tank Mates: Neon Tetras are peaceful and can coexist with other small, non-aggressive fish. They are often kept with community species.
-
Diet: They are omnivores and accept a diet of high-quality flake or pellet foods. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and micro worms.
