About this item ✅ The Green Neon Tetra, scientifically known as Paracheirodon simulans, is a striking and colorful freshwater fish that is closely related to the more commonly known Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi). The Green Neon Tetra is native to the upper Orinoco and Negro rivers in South America, particularly in Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia ✅ Coloration: As the name suggests, Green Neon Tetras exhibit bright green and blue colors. They have a neon blue stripe running horizontally along their body, just below a vivid green stripe. This coloration is most prominent when they are kept in a well-maintained aquarium with appropriate lighting ✅ Water Conditions: They prefer soft and slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. The recommended pH range is around 6.0-7.0, and the temperature should be maintained between 73-79°F (23-26°C). Clean and well-filtered water is essential for their health ✅ Temperament: Green Neon Tetras are peaceful and shoaling fish. They thrive when kept in groups of at least six individuals or more. Keeping them in larger numbers helps reduce stress and encourages natural schooling behavior ✅ Diet: Green Neon Tetras are omnivores and will accept a variety of foods. They can be fed high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia. Providing a varied diet contributes to their overall health and coloration ✅ Tank Setup: A well-planted aquarium with subdued lighting and a dark substrate can enhance the colors of Green Neon Tetras. They appreciate hiding spots among plants and may feel more secure in a densely planted tank ✅ Breeding: Breeding Green Neon Tetras can be achieved in a separate breeding tank with soft, acidic water. The females scatter their eggs, and the adults should be removed to prevent them from consuming the eggs. The fry can be fed infusoria or commercially available fry food
