About this fish

Diamond Head Neon Tetra

All the electric blue and red of a classic neon, with a bright reflective sheen across the head that sparkles under good lighting. A school of these moving through a planted tank is hard to beat.

Quick facts

  • Size supplied: 3 to 5cm
  • Temperament: peaceful, ideal community fish
  • Diet: quality flakes, micro pellets, plus frozen foods for best colour
  • Tank: planted, with soft to moderate water and stable conditions

Keeping tips

  • Keep in a group of 6 or more; a bigger school means more confident fish and better colour
  • Add to a mature, cycled tank and acclimatise slowly
  • Pairs well with rasboras, small catfish, shrimp and other peaceful nano fish
