Mine love to choreograph sitting perfectly still in the water.

These are one of my favorite species. They're larger and less timid than Neon Tetras, and consequently go especially well with Black Skirt Tetras, which come from the same region (Paraguay River). I've also kept them with Ancistrus, Bronze Corydoras, Neon Tetras, Glowlight Tetras and Serpae Tetras with no problems.

They are called black neons, but have nothing to do, with the normal neons ...

I remember finding 5 on an abandoned tank on my, literally about 6 months of thinking that the tank was completetly empty, therefore i just ignored it on my garage, it was a 60 gallon that was slowly getting empty due to evaporation, one day i was on my phone and i sit beside the "empty tank" and saw those 5 mfs swimming and schooling, and i was so excited to found them, i set up a new aquarium on my room, a 10g, i took media from an old rack i had for about 1 year now, and 4 days after i moved them, and i feed them only live daphnia once every 2 days or so, THEY FRICKING DIED, i get so mad of thinking that me caring for them was worse than just ignore them for months. I test the water and it was perfect, i really dont know why they died.

I have Black Neons, not only are they beautiful, but very easy to keep. Mine are in water that is naturally very hard (like Cichlid hard) and a pH of around 8. They have done really well and survived the first month of my tank being cycled (I used PRODIBIO START UP to get nitrifying Bacteria). They're quiet fish but very elegant. Also, in Australia, they are inexpensive, so a school of a dozen or so is a good selection. Mine are in a community tank with lots of other species, never been problematic. They look great with Neon and Ember Tetras.

I personally think the best types of tropical fish are the Tara's

I strongly prefer these over other neons, they look amazing, especially in a planted tank, and when their red eyes are fired up.

My 6 black neons shoal with my harlequin rasboras. .... Your dwarf gourami has real personality!

Black Neons are also one of my favorite fish. I like to have a school of these with a school of Glow Light Tetras. To me, the combo is hard to beat as well as beautiful especially when they mature.

Love the black neons. Had them for a while! Super hardy, get a decent size (for neons) & awesome “natural” looking coloration👌🏻

I love these tetras. Have a pack in a heavily planted 29 gallon with six pea puffers and all has been well for more than a year. Thanks, Jason!!

I have a group of Black Neons in my 65 gallon community tank and they are great. Also have Neons, Lemon Tetras and Silver Tip Tetras in the community as well .
