Executive Summary About Neon Tetra Fish By Sara Le
Tetra FishNeon Tetra Fish, otherwise known as neon tetras, are among the most popular of all tropical fish. In the wild, neon tetras originated in the tropical waters of South America. Neon tetras are schooling fish and need to live together in multiple numbers. The perfect number of neon fish to keep would be a group of around fifteen. Don’t put neon fish in with any sort of aggressive fish, or they will be quickly eaten. Most people have some trouble breeding neon fish in their tank environments. The water temperature cannot be above 75 degrees. The eggs of neons are sensitive to light so they need to have their breeding tank placed in a darkish spot before spawning takes place. Two or three days before breeding, give the neons live food to eat. As soon as you do identify eggs, remove the breeders from the tank.
Executive Summary About Neon Tetra Fish By Nero L
The Neon Tetra Fish (Paracheirodon innesi) is a freshwater fish of the characin family (family Characidae). The neon tetra fish has a light-blue back over a silver-white abdomen. The neon tetra has an iridescent blue horizontal stripe along each side of the fish from its nose to the base of the adipose fin. Wild Neon Tetras are omnivore and feed on plant matter as well as on crustaceans, worms and small insects. They are not fuzzy eaters in the aquarium and will accept most flake foods, but should also have some small foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms, tubiflex, and micro pellet food to supplement their diet.
The Neon Tetra Fish originates from westerns Brazil, south-eastern Columbia and eastern Peru and wild Neon Tetras can be found in the headwaters of the River Amazon, Tiger, Napo and Yarapa. Today, an introduced population of Neon Tetra is established in Singapore. The commercially bred Neon Tetras have adapted well to a wide range of water conditions. The recommended pH range for the Neon Tetras is between 5.0 – 7.0 and the recommended dH range is 1 – 2.
Executive Summary About Neon Tetra Fish By Steve Challis
A Fish with Extraordinary Breeding Behavior. Other common names it has been called include “Splash Tetra”, “Jumping Characin”, “Spraying Tetra”, “Arnolds Splashing Tetra” and “Spraying Characin”.
Water Conditions. The Splashing Tetra’s natural habitat is warm tropical.
Food. The preferred food of the Splashing Tetra is small live food, including aquatic insect larvae and Daphnia. They will also eat most normal aquarium fish foods and frozen bloodworms.
The Splashing Tetra is happy with other small peaceful fish like Neon Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Green Neon Tetras, White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Cherry Barbs, Penguin Tetras, Pristella Tetras and Glowlight Tetras. I would be a little more cautious about putting them with slightly more aggressive fish like Red Eye Tetras, Silvertip Tetras, Gold Barbs, Rummy Nose Tetras, Scissortail Rasboras, Lemon Tetras, Emperor Tetras, Head and Tail Light Tetras, Glass Bloodfin Tetras, Swordtails, Platies, Mollies, Zebra Danios, Black Widow Tetras, Rosy Barbs, Tiger Barbs, Paraguay Tetras, Buenos Aires Tetras Colombian Tetras; although these may well be all right with Splashing Tetras. The males grow a little bigger than the females.
Breeding. The Breeding behavior of the Splashing Tetra is extraordinary. The female lays some eggs while the male fertilizes them. The fish drop off.
