Green Neon Tetra

Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans)

The Green Neon Tetra is a small, vibrant fish that is a close relative of the popular Neon Tetra, but with its own unique coloration. Its body is a shimmering green, complemented by a bright blue stripe running along the body, which gives it an almost glowing appearance. These tetras are peaceful, active, and thrive in schools, making them a wonderful addition to community tanks. Their small size and calm nature make them perfect for aquariums with other peaceful species. Green Neon Tetras are best kept in a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding spots and soft, slightly acidic water.
