Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon simulans)

Green Neon Tetra Locally Acclimated Add a splash of electric color to your tank! The Green Neon Tetra ( Paracheirodon simulans ) is the sophisticated cousin of the common neon. Known for their brilliant, continuous neon-green stripe that runs the full length of their body, these "jewels" are a favorite for planted tanks and nano-aquariums. Sold as a School of 6: Green Neon Tetras are social creatures that thrive on community. To ensure they stay healthy and display their best colors, we only sell them in groups of 6 or more. Perfect for your nano tank or aquascape!" Why buy from My Central Store? Locally Acclimated: Skip the stress of long-distance shipping. Our tetras are cared for locally, meaning they are hardier and ready for your water. Schooling for Health: We sell these in groups of 6 because Green Neons are social. They feel safer, show better colors, and live longer when they have a "squad." Perfect for Small Tanks: They stay slightly smaller than regular Neons (maxing out at about 1 inch), making them ideal for aquascapes.
