Black Neon Tetra Fish

The Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) is a calm and easy-to-care-for fish. It’s a little bigger than a regular Neon Tetra and does well in small or community tanks.

Aquarium Setup and Size

Black Neon Tetras come from South America. In the wild, they live in dark water with lots of leaves, wood, and cones. You can make them feel at home by adding things like Indian Almond Leaves, guava leaves, driftwood, and alder cones to your tank. These natural items help keep the water soft and healthy for them. They grow to about 1.5 to 2 inches long.

Temperament 

These fish are peaceful and like to swim in groups. They usually do not fight with other fish. They sometimes do well with shrimp but do best in community setups with other small schooling fish.

Diet

We feed our Black Neon Tetras a mix of Northfin Community and Veggie pellets. We also give them frozen foods like baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and cyclops to help them stay strong and healthy.
