The Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) is a hardy, peaceful schooling fish known for its striking contrast — a deep black horizontal stripe highlighted by a glowing white and neon green line above it.
Perfect for planted or community tanks, Black Neons are active swimmers that thrive in groups of six or more and add movement and contrast to any setup.
Raised at our Florida fish farm, these tank-acclimated fish are healthy, vibrant, and well-conditioned for long life and brilliant color.
