Stunning in planted tanks
Peaceful community fish
Green Neon Tetras (Paracheirodon simulans) are compact South American schooling fish with a vivid blue-green lateral stripe. Their smaller adult size and subtle coloration make them especially striking in a planted aquarium with darker surroundings.
They are best suited to an established, peaceful community where water quality is stable and tankmates will not outcompete or intimidate them.
Care Notes
Keep Green Neon Tetras in a mature, stable aquarium with subdued lighting, plant cover, and gentle flow.
They are a small schooling species. A larger group is more confident and displays more naturally than a small group.
Use appropriately small foods and avoid sudden shifts in temperature or water chemistry.
Large predatory fish or fish able to swallow small tetras
Aggressive or highly boisterous tankmates
Species that demand very different water conditions
Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation
Start with a mature, planted 10-gallon or larger aquarium and plan for a proper group. For the best behavior and visual impact, build toward 10 or more Green Neon Tetras rather than keeping a small group.

Common Questions
Green Neon Tetra FAQ
How many Green Neon Tetras should I keep?+
Plan for a proper school. We recommend building toward 10 or more in a mature aquarium; larger groups are generally more confident.
Are Green Neon Tetras beginner fish?+
They are peaceful but do best in an established aquarium with stable water quality, so they are better for a keeper ready to monitor conditions closely.
Are Green Neon Tetras safe with shrimp?+
They may coexist with adult shrimp in a well-planted aquarium, but very small shrimplets can be at risk.
What tank size do Green Neon Tetras need?+
A mature 10-gallon aquarium is the minimum. More water volume and horizontal swimming space make it easier to keep a larger group stable.
What do Green Neon Tetras eat?+
Feed small, varied foods such as micro pellets, finely crushed flake, baby brine shrimp, and daphnia.
How are Green Neon Tetras shipped?+
Fish ship Monday through Wednesday via overnight service, with safe delivery dates and weather conditions reviewed before release.
Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.
