Water Conditions
The wild green neon tetra comes from extremely soft, acidic water at temperatures around 24 to 29°C (75-81°F). These are the ideal conditions for this fish. It will adjust to neutral water with some hardness and temperatures near the bottom of the range, and is fine in a community tank with small peaceful fish.
Filters with excessively strong water intake are dangerous because this little fish is prone to get sucked in by strong currents, perhaps even more so than the neon tetra.

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or conditions:
“It is moot whether there be divinities
As I finish this play by Webster:
The street-cars are still running however
And the katharsis fades in the warm water of a yawn.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
