Paracheirodon simulans
Origin: Rio Negro, Brazil
Paracheirodon simulans, the Green Neon Tetra, is the smallest of the three Paracheirodon species. Slightly smaller than the common neon, it displays a longer, more vivid green-blue iridescent stripe with less red. Best in soft, warm, acidic water. A stunning nano schooling fish for planted aquariums. Pack of 10.
Requires soft, warm, acidic water — less tolerant than common neons. At least 30 L. Feed micro flake, baby brine shrimp, and micro worms. Beautiful in large groups against a dark substrate with green plants. Do not keep with nippy species. Sensitive to poor water quality.
