Neon tetra

Low maintenance, have one by itself. looses its color when the lights are off. gets its color back when the lights are on. not big at all not aggressive. Looks like the Buffalo Bills logo.

buying neons shipped in is not a good idea...finding them bred locally is the only way to go...bringing them home is the key....dump halve the water out of bag and slowly mix your water in bag to slowly acclimate the fish ....or ph shock takes them over within a day...cardinals are a better coice.they have a blue line,not green

Neon Tetra

The most difficult fish that I've kept...ever. I've bought a school of 8 before and put them in my 4-month old aquarium, and guess what...they just keep on dying everyday! I've bought another group of 4, and yet, all of them died overnight! Not suitable for beginners... They may be beautiful and all, but damn, they're so fragile!
