Not to be mistaken with the common neon tetra, the green neon tetra is smaller and with a more intense “neon” line that makes it distinctly different than the neon tetra. This fish is not suitable with larger fish due to its very small size and not recommended for a Discus aquarium despite its tolerance to high temperatures.
Fish Size Guide:
The ‘Maximum Size’ outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.
Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as “Large” or “Adult”.
