Black Neon Tetra

Name: Black Neon Tetra
Scientific Name: Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi
Maximum Length: About 1.5 inches
Favorite Things: Peaceful, planted community tanks with soft lighting and stable water conditions. Black Neon Tetras glow with a bright, silvery-white horizontal stripe over a deep charcoal body—an elegant contrast that looks amazing in groups. They enjoy flake foods, micro pellets, and frozen treats like daphnia or brine shrimp.
Best Buddies: Excellent with rasboras, other tetras, corydoras, shrimp, and peaceful community fish. Best kept in schools of 6 or more for bold, synchronized swimming.
