The Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) is a popular freshwater fish among aquarium enthusiasts, admired for its striking appearance and peaceful nature. This small fish features a distinctive black stripe bordered by a shimmering white line, which runs horizontally along its silver body, creating a beautiful contrast. Native to the rivers of Brazil, Black Neon Tetras typically grow up to 1.5 inches and are ideal for community tanks due to their non-aggressive temperament.
These fish are best kept in schools of 6 or more, as they are social and thrive in groups. They prefer a well-planted aquarium with soft, slightly acidic water, mimicking their natural habitat. Black Neon Tetras are relatively hardy and easy to care for, making them a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. They can be housed with other peaceful species like Corydoras and small tetras.
