Something very important to know about them is that they’re VERY sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters, you need to frequently test your water and when you do a water change make sure that the new water you’re putting in is the exact same temp, harness, etc. Also when you’re putting the new water in, do it slowly so the tetras don’t get shocked. Drip acclimating is a good idea.

I'm still nostalgic about my brother's pet tetras. There was one who's spine got all wonky, but he lived. He was called Twist Tail. He lived several years, even surviving after they were all presumed to be dead. For like months, nobody fed them and then it just showed up and lived a while after that. I feel like I can't fail with this species

I’m looking into getting a small aquarium set up for my first and this video was so helpful. Thank you!

Always kept neons but never had any luck on breeding them . Great video!!

I love my neon teras, so pretty and so active. They chase each other around my tank all day long and they seem very healthy in only a 10-gallon tank.

Love watching these videos - can't wait to see if they start spawning

by the way I watch all your videos keep up the good work man I get a lot of my information from you I always double check the facts but you really know what your preaching anyways love it! keep it up!

This was fantastic information, thanks heaps. Just got my first tropical tank. only small. 76ltr. After setting the tank and waiting until the water tested good I put 10 neon's in. It's day 5 and they seem happy. I wondered about the food. I'll pick up some brine and a over the back filter cover tomorrow. Thanks again 😁

you are the most underrated fish KZfaqr I've ever seen keep up the good work!

Thanks for the vid very helpful just started in fish keeping and I planning to get 10 tetras or neon tetras.

I’ve been rewatching this vid cause I just got some tetras and snails. I forgot gravel lol but got plants 🌱 Thanks for the info!!

I got my neons today and I love them

Another great vid keep it up man !!

really loved this video . thank you so much

Really helpful, thank you

Hey how’s the breeding process of your neon tetras going? Can’t wait to see the neon babies 😊

This is amazing! Amazing video! I have a neon tetra and a cardinal tetra (I will get more when I can) and they are great fish! Everyone who looks at my centrepiece tank always comments on the cardinal tetra and says it is so beautiful and eye catching! Thanks for this info! You did a really good job! Keep up the amazing work!!!👍

Thanks I just got 3 neon tetras today!

Thanks for advise

This just reminded me to buy 5 more neons to be with my 8! I can't wait to see them school more often and be more peaceful haha

You a little cutie ain't?? Golly! Anywho, I just bought a few today. Very beautiful fish. I really hope they live.

Smashing vid!

thanks i needed this

Good video..... from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

You are seriously so cute! Thanks for the awesome video

I keep neons with my beta and they are always fun to watch

Extremely good information, thanks for helping and providing this resource. I will search out more from you i.e. otocinclus or other micro cats! You're adorable btw. Lol

great video

This is helpful I have two neon tetra fish !

Neon Tetras are so Beautiful 😍

Hey! i'm starting my first tank setup, hopefully with a group of 5 tetras and 1 betta :) this video was super helpful to me compared to all the other ones i've come across, thank you :)))

Neon tetras are definitely my favourite fish

I have 15 Neon Tetras with a Molly in my 10 gallon and they are doing great.

I have a 8 gallon tank with real plants 10 fishes. I just put the fish in a bowl and waited 20 minutes then netted them into the tank (Nobody went belly up) They were traumatized) I turned up the heater, feed them and put there night light on. They went to sleep (litterly) I didn't know fish sleep). They felt much better in the morning. Today is day two. They ate and look happy. They chase eachother around the tank and play with eachother. These fish are cool, I like how they interact with eachother.

i love fish!

Maybe I missed this but how often should we feed tetras? Twice a day and is the time of day important? Ours didn't seem too hungry in the morning after waking up, but they're ravenous if we feed them at noon.

good video

I got four of them from Pet supermarket and put them into my 5 gallon aquarium and they made it for a month so I put them in my 20 long with my Bolivian rams and everyone gets along great they are so much fun to keep I’mgoing to try and breed mine

I plan to put some neon tetras with my beta fish thanms for tips

Going to pickup a 10 gallon tank and some neon tetras to add into my betta

Setting up a 29g planted Aquarium. How many Neon Tetras do you recommend adding at once? I would like a school of 10-15 but I don't know if it is too much to add that many all at once. They would be the first (and only) fish in the tank.

Hi :) Your videos have been very helpful! I've been a fan while, and I'm planning on re-stocking my tank. I have 2 questions, What type of Anti fungal do you recommend I give to the tetras? and also can I use it on other small fish like platies, sword tails, mollies, danios, and guppies?

Add floating plants to minimize water changes. I only do 15% a month. 7 to 10 gallon. Heavy planted

yeah true neon tetras are very peaceful, i even noticed it stopped one of the fish thats been chasing other fish. thats how they really stick to peace and order lols

Love the video! Where do you get your Indian Almond leaves from?

Hi would you please tell me how to change water for these fish since they are sensitive and nervous? I have a 10 gallon tank Thanks!

Im collecting neon tretra information from you edit:thank you

Thank you for informative videos on neon tetra. I got green neon the other day and in my head, they are small and has tiny mouth so, I was going to feed flakes, powder food or something manageable size for them to eat.However, when I sprinkle flake food on top, they do not come to the top to eat... Any feeding tips on feeding flake food to them? Should I scoop up the tank water,put flakes in and gently pour flake water back into the water? They caught small-ish pellet food intended for cory ..but still the pellet size seems bigger than their mouth.Any feeding tips for green neon, I will be appreciated.Thank you.

Can I have 5 in a five gallon or would that be bad? But I am getting a 10 gallon on Monday so would that be better?

This guy looks kind of like Rodrick the from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movies

what size is sufficient for a quarantine tank? planning on getting either a 10 or 20 gallon as my main

I have 4 in my 10 gallon and I have one that always gets lost from the rest of the group. I usually find him hiding in the roots of the amazon sword plants.

Fantastic guide, thank you. I'm just setting up my first tropical aquarium now. It's 70 litre kit tank for beginners. I just want little Tetras like neons and a few of the others. Question for anybody that knows....because I can only keep about 20 small tetras all up, I was hoping that I could keep smaller schools of each species, say 5 species of 4 each. Would that be OK as long as they're all Tetra's of similar in size?

I used to have a mix of standard neons and black neons they usually schooled together.

Can they be kept with Denison Barbs? Especially if I have them in the tank first, and Get the Denison Barbs at a smaller size? Like two inches?

What do you do if one gets sick for example swim bladder, since they are social fish do you just treat the whole tank or put it in a quarantine tank alone?

I currently have a tank that I started over a while ago. I used to raise goldfish, but I want to do more of a nano fish tank as there is plenty of room I have 6 otocinclus in my 60 gallon. How many would you recommend?

Do you know if small catfish can go with neon tetra and maybe recommend another species of a small fish

Bro hi. Im gonna make my home Aquarium completed soon. The only remaining part buying fish. Im buying neon tetras and for the tank cleaner fish I'm buying Clown Plecostomus. Is it a good pair for these two in the same tank???

I got 12inch x 12inch square tank with anubias nana plants with some bumblebee snails. Is it possible to put some neon tetra here? If yes, how many?

Ome question, what aother paracheirodon species are available in the hobby other than neons, cardinals, and green neons?

I have a 10 gallon tank right now with 4 Corydoras that I cannot identify, but I wanted to buy some neon tetras, i want a nice group of them would 10 of them be a good amount for the tank?

I'm planning on getting 6 Neon Tetras and Two African Dwarf Frogs in a Fluval Flex 15 Gallon. Good to know Neon Netras eat bloodworms because that is what the frogs can eat as well. Hopefully the frogs get along with the tetras. I've seen a few videos and they seem to live in harmony. I'm going to plant Lucky Bamboo along with some other random plants.

Hi. Do you use activated carbon into your planted tank?

Can I put neon tetras in a 5 gallon tank? I watched another fish video that said I could so I am kind of confused.

What is the average age of Cardinal tetra when purchasing from local pet store?

I read online that tetras munch their way through planted aquariums. That pretty much only Java Fern they leave alone. I haven't bought anything other than an empty tank, and I'm doing a lot of research fist. I'm considering either Neon or Cardinal Tetras, but I don't massively want to limit what plants I can add, due to them eating them all. On another side, I read that if your fish are eating your plants, float things like lettuce or spinach in the water, and the fish will eat them instead. My issue with this is that fish would encounter neither of those plants in the wild, so why would I feed them to the fish? Would you be able to provide some clarity into this, as I'm not sure its all adding up for me? Thanks.

I have a 10 gallon heated tank with a calm betta. Could I get 5/6 of these and add them to the tank? I'm getting smaller snail no matter what

What do you recommend for quarantine meds??

Tetras are also like the guppies? That they live with hang on filter without oxygen?

I am thinking of getting neon tetras great video

Early squaaad

Can I use a four gallon tank?

Is this best for betta fish community tank

I have a 25L/5.5 gallon tank and planning on getting a betta fish but not sure if the tank is big enough for 4-5 neon tetras as well as the betta, is my tank big enough?

So I have an Air Conditioner. It's in Celcius, what temperature should I have to with?

ive been noticing some dark brownish discoloration on the tail fin of one of my tetras does anyone know what that is. they are diamond head tetras

I have a 80 litters tank with 2 corydoras 4 gupies 6 neon tetras 2 plecos and2 mollys is it overstocked total 21 fishes

Tell me if this is okay = i have a 47 gallon 2.5×2.5 feet height and lenth anf one feet width with 8 pairs of mollys and 6 pairs of guppys and 5 pairs of neon tetras okay or nah?

i just realized that my neon tetras color is so light when my uncle got me them they look very colorful but now the color is just really pale is it because I feed them crush into powder koi food to them? cuz my uncle told me to feed them that I new to fish keeping

How many can I get for a 37 gallon tank I have 2 angel fish, 3 Cory catfish, 2 plecos, 2 gouramis, 2 mollies

Ah. Should have medicated the newly added neon tetra when I bought them... completely wipe out all the existing neon tetra after I was gone for a few day. Ick is such a big problem. Does overdosing on Ick guard kill these fish as well?

I have a 10 gallon tank if I get 5 of them and a betta is that fine for them

How would neon tetras go with zebra danios?

Hi~ I have a stupid question. Whenever I read information about the number of a specific fish you can keep in your tank, I'm quite confused. For example: 10 neons for a 10 gallon tank, does it mean that I can keep only 10 neons in the tank, or it means 10 neons + some other types of fish? If it is the second, is there any method I can use to calculate the proper number of fish in my tank? Thank you so much~

I just got 6 of them. How long does it take for them to color up ? Coloration looks dull.

I need some help , so i just bought some cardinal tetras with some guppies , now when im feeding the fish the guppies eat some food well all the food cos they are top feeders but idk how to feed my tetras cos they stay in the middle of the tank and the flakes ( fish food ) dont sink and the tetras dont get their food so is there a way to feed them ?

I need help. I bought 6 neon tetra and added them to my 10 gallon this morning they all died, but my guppies are all fine. I thought guppies and tetra live in similar water condition?

I tried adding neon tetras to my male bettas 10 gallon, I read online that bettas do well with tetras. Well not my betta. 😢At first he was cool about it. Then 2 days later he decided to start picking on them and went on a killing spree attacking them, he killed one and injured another one. I swear they do this for sport. I rushed and grabbed my back up tank and I went in for the rescue. Now I am buying another 10 gallon tank tomorrow and I’ll probably add a few more tetras to their school. Poor little guys were so stressed. I added some salts to their tank to help ease them and now they seem much better. Lesson learned. My betta is a one man in his land kinda dude. Lol

I noticed many tiny snails in your video. Please make a video on how to remove them from our tanks as i have a big problem with them. if not controlled, it will over run our tanks. I've got shrimps and tetras in the same tank. Thanks

Which are cooler, neons or cardinals?

My tetras chase eachother , do they attack playfully? I want to make sure they're not hurting eachothe

are they good with like ranchus and orandas?

Question, I have 7 with my male betta and I have like two that I have noticed that are fin nipping my betta. He’s in the process of already growing his fins out. And now these guys just aren’t helping. I have a 30 gallon tall.

I have a 55 community tank. I have 6 neon tetras in there. I also have an angelfish who dosent even care about the other fish. He won’t even nip at the tiny endler guppy I have in there. Keep in mind, he’s about 5 inches top to bottom.

Could i possibly put neon tetras on my planted 30 gal tank with an sponge filter , 2 golden gourami , 9 molly , 4 danios?

How long do you drip acclimate ?

🤔What about depth of the water . Do they like a deeper tank or shorter ?🤔

My albino neon tetra has this white spot on his tail and lived for months since we brought him snd he is still alive now

I'm getting my very first aquarium in these days and getting informed as much as I can to add these little guys, my hopes is that I won't fuck up to much, been studying their necessities for almost a month now. Wish me good luck pls
