The Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans) looks very similar to the regular Neon Tetra[2] but only reaches about an inch (2 cm) in size. They will do better when kept in a small school[3] of 7 or more and in slightly acidic and soft water conditions.

Green Neon Tetras are not seen in the trade as often as the regular neons or cardinal tetra[4]. Hobbyists sometimes confuse all three species.

If you do want to try your hand at keeping these tetras, do a slow drip acclimation[5] over the period of an hour or longer and feed them a high quality diet. Keep the tank water parameters[6] in good condition, e.g. keep the nitrates[7] on the low side.

They will do great in heavily planted aquariums[8].
