• Minimum tank 18 × 12 in (45 × 30 cm) or larger.
• Adult size 1.0 in (25 mm), excluding the tail
• Temperature 75–79°F (24–26°C)

Housing & compatibility

Keep six or more together in soft water. Small rasboras and other quiet nano fish can work if they share the same water needs.

Diet

Start with crushed flakes or a fine micropellet. Use Hikari Micro Pellets only if the pieces fit, and offer small portions of Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Daphnia.

Species notes

Green neons stay smaller than regular neons. They show up well in a group against dark wood and plants.
