My parents bought fishes!
To keep at home!
For the first time in my whole life
Neon Tetra species
The Neon Tetra is a peaceful fish that is often kept in household aquariums with other fish species of roughly the same size. Neon tetras look very beautiful when combined with other tetra species, but they can be combined with fishes from a broad range of other families as well. Keep in mind that most tetra species are tougher than the Neon tetras when it comes to water conditions. Neon tetras should naturally never be combined with larger fishes that will consider them prey, or aggressive fish species that will bully them.
The Neon Tetra is a shoaling species and you should always keep at least five or six Neon Tetras together, preferably more. A Neon Tetra that is kept alone will be much stressed and spend most if its time hiding. The stress can also make it more susceptible to illness.
A large group of Neon Tetras are also much more beautiful to watch in the aquarium and you will be able to see a much broader range of natural behaviours. When kept in a shoal, Neon tetras are active creatures and they will spend most of their time in the middle to lower area of the aquarium. Neon Tetras are known to sometimes shoal together with the closely related Cardinal Tetras.
Neon tetras can reach an age of 10 years or more, but most Neon Tetras have a shorter life span than this.They remind me of humans somehow (:
Today is a good day
No a great day
Everyday will be like this
I hope
