Green Neon Tetra 10 pack

🌿 Green Neon Tetra – Subtle Shine with Peaceful Schooling Charm

The Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) is a tiny jewel of the Amazon, known for its vibrant iridescent green-blue stripe, subtle red accents, and active schooling behavior. Smaller and more delicate than its cousin, the Cardinal Tetra, this species brings colorful motion and tranquility to planted tanks and peaceful community aquariums.

Loved by aquascapers and nano tank enthusiasts alike, Green Neons shine brightest in large groups and thrive in soft, acidic water conditions—mimicking their natural blackwater environment.
