Add a striking contrast and lively movement to your aquarium with the Black Neon Tetra Fish (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi). This attractive freshwater community fish is known for its slender body, dark horizontal coloration and bright white-to-silvery stripe that creates a beautiful neon-like appearance.
Black Neon Tetras are peaceful, active schooling fish that look their best when maintained in a group. Their dark body and contrasting stripes stand out particularly well against a planted aquarium, dark substrate or natural aquarium décor.
These easy-to-maintain community fish are suitable for many peaceful freshwater aquariums when kept with compatible tankmates. Their active swimming behavior adds movement and visual interest without dominating the aquarium. Keep Black Neon Tetras in a group of at least 6 fish. Provide open swimming areas along with plants, driftwood or other aquarium décor that offers cover and creates a natural environment. Feed a varied diet of quality tropical flakes or small pellets. Their diet can also be supplemented with appropriately sized frozen or live foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp.
Maintain clean, stable water through efficient filtration and regular water changes. Avoid aggressive or significantly larger tankmates that may stress or prey on these smaller fish.
