Tetra Fish
Tetras are schooling fish from the family Characiade. They are calm, colorful and mostly peaceful, making them ideal for both beginner and advanced hobbyists.
Tetras generally have compressed (sometimes deep), fusiform bodies and are typically identifiable by their fins.
Tetra is the common name of many small freshwater characiform fishes.
Tetras come from Africa, Central America, and South America.

At least six neon tetras should be kept together in one tank. Neon tetras are a schooling species, so you should keep a minimum of six to ten neon tetras together in one tank. Neon tetras will feel uncomfortable and get stressed if you keep too few of them together.
Once they're set up in an established tank with the proper conditions, the average Neon Tetra lifespan is somewhere between 5 to 10 years.

Smaller tetras, like neons and cardinals, are very popular fish for planted aquariums as they are small, colorful, and school together. These fish make great pets for first time fish keepers as they tend to be rather hardy.

Given their origin in South America, it is not surprising in the least that Neon Tetras require warmer water to thrive. The ideal Neon Tetra temperature for survival is between 22.2 – 24.4 degrees Celsius.

Feed the tetras anywhere from two to four times a day, using the amount you measured previously to dictate how much food they will eat in a day. In the wild, neons are foragers and opportunistic feeders. The multiple feedings mimic their natural feeding behaviors.
