Who has green neon tetras?

Post by MultipleTankSyndrome » Mon Mar 21, 2022 5:42 pm

Was just curious if anyone else had any green neon tetras? I find myself agreeing with Wikipedia in that they are nowhere near as common as neon or cardinal tetras, which got me curious enough to make this thread and ask.

I wonder why they're not so common. Their green-blue stripe is, at least to me, very attractive.

Here the three species of Cheirodon are almost always offered. So, if I would want that one, I could get them. But I have only Cardinal tetras

Fish that are less common might not receive as much attention or promotion in the aquarium industry, incredibox which can contribute to their lower visibility.

I have 20 of these in quarantine, got them on ebay, hard to find in local stores.

At face value a better bet than cardinal tetra which have too much red for me.

These are also better than regular Neons as they are directional schoolers like the Cardinals (Neons dont do that), but have the pop of the Neons; perfect middle ground for those who buy these things for the neon flash in the first place. They flash both electric neon blue and green which is fantastic.
