Neon Tetra 2cm (Group of 10)

The Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) is one of the most iconic and beloved freshwater fish in the hobby, and for good reason. A shimmering electric blue stripe runs the length of the body, contrasted by a vivid red tail — a combination that looks absolutely stunning when a school moves together under aquarium lighting. Hardy, peaceful, and endlessly popular, Neon Tetras are a perfect choice for community tanks of all levels.
