About this fish

Albino Black Neon Tetra is a pale, red eyed form of the classic black neon. Its light body and silvery stripe glow against dark wood and green plants, and a group moves through the tank as one.

Why you will love it

  • A calm, easy schooler for planted community tanks
  • Pale colouring that stands out against dark scapes
  • Hardy and forgiving once settled
