Comprehensive Care Instructions for Neon Tetra Fish
Water Quality & Temperature:
- Water Type: Freshwater; use a dechlorinator to remove harmful chemicals from tap water.
- Temperature: Ideal range is 22-28°C (72-82°F). A heater may be needed to maintain a stable temperature.
- Water pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0 - 7.0). Regular water testing ensures optimal conditions for the fish.
Tank Setup:
- Tank Size: A minimum of 10 gallons is recommended for a small school of Neon Tetras (6 or more). Larger aquariums provide more room for the fish to swim and display natural schooling behavior.
- Filtration: Use a gentle filter to maintain water clarity and cleanliness. Avoid strong currents, as Neon Tetras prefer calm waters.
- Tank Mates: Neon Tetras are peaceful and do well with other non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include Guppies, Corydoras, Rasboras, and other small tetras. Avoid fin-nipping species like barbs or aggressive fish like cichlids.

- Feeding Frequency: Feed 1-2 times a day, offering only as much food as the fish can consume in a few minutes.
Common Health Issues:
- Ich (White Spot Disease): This parasitic infection can be treated with medications and by increasing the water temperature.
- Fin Rot: Caused by poor water conditions or injuries, this can be prevented by maintaining clean water and avoiding overcrowding.
- Fungal Infections: Can be treated with antifungal medications and proper water maintenance.
