Neon tetras prefer soft, slightly acidic water and densely planted tanks that mimic their natural habitat. Their shimmering appearance and synchronized swimming make them a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts. Though small, they add a lively splash of color to any tank. With proper care and a stable environment, neon tetras can live up to five years. Their beauty and gentle nature make them a delightful addition to aquariums.
