Answer 1

Here is some general information for you about Neon Tetras:

Minimum Tank Size: 10 gallon
Care Level: Easy
Tank Conditions: 68-74°F; pH 5.0-7.0
Max. Size In Aquarium: Up to 2"
Temperament: Peaceful
Diet: Omnivore

This very popular freshwater tetra comes from the clear water streams of South America. Generally iridescent blue with a bright red tail, the Neon Tetra is a peaceful fish that will make a great addition to a community aquarium. Neon Tetras add beauty to a planted aquarium; the plants in turn will provide plenty of hiding places and security for the fish. Rocks and driftwood also help to mirror its natural habitat. The Neon Tetra thrives in slightly acidic water and will do best when water parameters are kept constant. To breed Neon Tetras, separate a pair into a "breeding tank" with no lighting at first, and gradually increase it until spawning occurs. Water hardness should be less than 4 degrees and live food such as mosquito larvae are great inducers. Be sure to remove the adults after the eggs have been laid, as the adults will eat them. The eggs should hatch within 30 hours. Neon Tetras will accept many small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and a high quality flake food.

Answer 2

Yes, Neon Tetras are the "Tropical Community" fish so it is preferred that you feed them Tropical Fish Flakes.

Answer 3

They most certainly do as I just now found out. I have had my two black skirt tetras for 5 years now, yesterday I bough 3 neon tetras and over night they were all doing fine, about 1/2 hr ago I looked and all three were fine but as I was about to turn off the light there was my black skirt with a neon in his mouth, literally!!!!!, I scooped down in the tank but since he had the neon's mouth in his mouth, it was too late. So now I know what happened to all my other neon's. I had five then went down to 3, then none, I thought it was the water or the filter but now I know what happened to all of them. Don't know what to do about this dilemma, so sad I am over this. Dam, had these two black skirt 4ever :`(

Answer 4

Neon Tetras are tropical fish that should be kept in schools of 5+, and they will readily take flakes, though a weekly treat of frozen food is good to provide a balanced diet...
