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.
