Black Neon Tetra (Tank-Bred)

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

Black Neon Tetras (Hyphessobrycon Herbertaxelrodi) have been in a hobby for a while but they are still one of the more popular nano fish due to their unique coloration and schooling behavior. They have a neon  stripe that runs down their body that stands out in any aquarium. These stunning fish are are relatively small and can grow to a a max size at about 1.5 inch which makes them perfect for a planted nano aquarium. 

Black Neon Tetras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
