The Golden Neon Tetra is a stunning color variation of the popular Neon Tetra, featuring a shimmering gold body with the signature bright red stripe along the tail area. This peaceful schooling fish is ideal for community aquariums and is admired for its vibrant coloration and active swimming behavior.

Golden Neon Tetras thrive in groups of six or more, as they feel more secure in schools and display their best colors when together. They do well with other small, non-aggressive fish, making them perfect for planted tanks or community setups. Their bright golden hue provides a beautiful contrast against green plants, driftwood, or darker substrates, creating a visually striking aquarium display.

These fish are hardy and relatively easy to care for, suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Maintaining stable water conditions with gentle filtration and moderate lighting will keep them healthy and vibrant.

Diet: Omnivorous – they readily accept high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and live or frozen treats such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.
