Neon tetras

 

Neon Tetra is a small, thin, and easy-to-care fish that’s ideal for new owners. 

Live in, 

The neon tetra is found in the western and northern Amazon basin in southeastern Colombia, eastern Peru, and western Brazil. It lives in waters with a temperature between 20 and 28 °C (68–82 °F) and pH 4–7.5. It has a preference for acidic blackwater streams, but also occurs in transparent clearwater streams. 

Size, 

Neon tetras aren't big fish at all. They only grow to about 1.2 inches (3 centimeters).

Colours, 

The striking red, white, and blue combination makes the neon tetra one of the most popular of all aquarium fish. 

Diet, 

Neon tetras are omnivores and will accept most flake foods, if sufficiently small, but should also have some small foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, which can be stuck to the side of the aquarium, and micropellet food to supplement their diets.
