Before you choose from this collection
ShowHide
Standard, Diamond and Yellow Neon Tetras are listed as Paracheirodon innesi. Choose a supplied size, or compare the separately listed 20-fish pack.
Plan their aquarium before ordering. Our Neon Tetra care guide starts with a mature, filtered tank at least 60 cm long and a group of eight or more, then checks usable space, water and the complete adult community. That is a planning screen, not a promise that any eight fish will fit.

Frequently asked questions
Each listing shows the current price for the selected size and sale unit. Check how many fish that offer supplies, then budget for a suitable group rather than comparing the price of a single fish alone.
Our care guide uses eight or more as a conservative starting group, alongside a mature aquarium at least 60 cm long. More fish need more suitable space and filter capacity; a larger group is not automatically better in a small tank.
No. The Standard, Diamond and Yellow Neon listings here are Paracheirodon innesi. Cardinal Tetras are Paracheirodon axelrodi, while Green Neon Tetras are Paracheirodon simulans. Use the scientific identity and each species’ care guidance when comparing them; the shared neon name does not establish identical requirements.
They can suit a prepared keeper with a mature, stable aquarium. Complete fishless cycling and check water quality before adding fish; do not use another fish to test whether a new tank is ready.
Look for peaceful companions with compatible water, temperature and feeding needs. Check adult size and predation risk, not just the size in the shop. Our care guide explains the trade-offs; no collection is a guaranteed tank-mate list.
Litres alone cannot decide. Check the tank length, usable space, filter maturity and every intended adult resident. Use the group and footprint guidance above as the starting point, and ask us about your complete setup before ordering.
