Tetra-Brilliant Black Neon

Overview

The Brilliant Black Neon Tetra is a striking, peaceful schooling fish prized for its bold contrast of deep black coloration and shimmering neon-green stripe. Hardy and easy to care for, this species is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to add movement and colour to planted community aquariums.

Native to the clear and blackwater tributaries of the Rio Paraguay and Rio Taquari basins in South America, Black Neon Tetras thrive in soft, slightly acidic water and feel most secure when kept in groups.
