Green Neon Tetras

Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans)

The Green Neon Tetra is a stunning nano schooling fish prized for its intense iridescent green-blue stripe and compact size. Smaller and more refined than the standard Neon Tetra, this species is perfect for planted aquariums and peaceful community tanks where its colours truly shine.

Green Neons are best kept in groups, where they display confident schooling behaviour and create a beautiful shimmering effect as they move through the aquarium. Their calm temperament makes them ideal tank mates for other small, peaceful fish and shrimp-safe communities.

These fish thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water parameters, gentle flow, and plenty of plant cover. Due to their small size, they are especially suited to nano and aquascaped tanks.
