Reproducción

Neon Tetras are egg-layers that spawn in soft, acidic water. To breed them, set up a separate breeding tank with dim lighting and plants for egg-laying. Remove adults after spawning to protect the eggs. Fry hatch in 24-36 hours and require infusoria initially.

Dieta

Neon Tetras are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet of high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia. A balanced diet helps maintain their vivid coloration and overall health.
