Neon tetra are so cool.
Best keep in a school of 6.
We had 2 to start out tank with. They became a bit sad. Shame.
Happy to have a bunch of 6 now.
Cuties.

Neons are always a great addition. But over the years I’ve seem to just get disease after disease and they’d pass away. However, the 3 I bought, to add to the massive group, are still alive but there was one or more diseases that happened and just wiped out all the neons, so these poor survivors have battle scars now. A few months later I added my Xray and lemons, and they all look very healthy considering that tank to be the “problem” tank. No blisters or spots of fungus growing, so that’s a plus. Even the neons look happier to have friends and hang out in the one big tetra community school. I think the lemons and xrays are way more hardy. Go check them out, i got the lemons from mc merwe.

Been a on and off fish keeper for 30 years, Mcmerwe is the first “pet shop” where all the fish stay alive, healthy and stunning! They are so much more than a “pet shop”. Neon Tetra in this great condition will make any tank look good.
