Black Neon Tetra: Black Freshwater neon tetras are a beautiful and low-maintenance fish that all aquarists should take into consideration.
They are simple to maintain, have a distinctive appearance, and get along with just about any other freshwater tank mates.
Similar in appearance but much darker is the Black Neon Tetra (scientific name: Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi).
These freshwater fish, which are thought regarded as the Neon Tetra’s darker relative, are equally stunning and simple to take care of!
Black Neon Tetras originate in Brazil’s Paraguay Basin. There are many hundred kilometres in their natural environment.
Small tributaries, floodplains, and rivers that pass through heavily forested areas are where you can find the fish.
The Paraguay basin in southern Brazil is the natural habitat of the black neon tetra. In the natural, these fish favour sandbanks, creeks, swampy areas of forest, and small torrents.
Their native environment is typically quite acidic, and the tannins released by decomposing organic matter cause the water.

II. You would love the fish because…
The black neon fish, which has an iridescence of white, greenish black, and other colours, is a great contrast fish.
They differ from other tetras of a similar size, such as the neon or red-splashed rummy nose tetra, and they are also slightly taller in stature.
They are easily recognised because they have a rich, velvety black tone underneath and an enamel-white to greenish neon stripe above.
Black Neon Tetras shine out among the natural decor. These fish are little and slim, just like their more colourful cousins.
They have translucent fins, a rounded head, and a torpedo-shaped body.
The Black Neon Tetra’s primary hue is rather muted. They frequently develop a somewhat greenish colour. Two striking stripes contrast that foundation colour.
A thin, white iridescent stripe makes up the first. It shimmers in the light, producing a gorgeous glittering look. A wider band of black is situated directly beneath that stripe. The fish gets its name from this stripe.
The fish has two horizontal stripes running the length of its body.
