General:  A very colorful and popular tetra.  You can easily have success with this fish if you meet some requirements:  Keep them with other small peaceful fish.  Provide bushy plants and some open swimming room.  Keep pH 6.5-6.8 (check twice a month).  Like most tetras, they do best in groups.  A school of 10 or more looks very nice.

Feeding:  Feed at least twice a day.  They will accept a variety of foods.  Feed flakes, along with brine shrimp, bloodworms or frozen foods.  A tetra will show its best color after you have owned it for a few months and have given it a high quality diet.

Compatibility:  Fish that go well with neon tetras: Community #1
