Green Neon Tetra Fish

The Green Neon Tetra is a great fish from South America. It originates from streams throughout the jungle where the water is stained brown from all the fallen leaves and wood. These fish will thrive in black water conditions. Although, they are very hardy and will accept a wide range of parameters. 

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

The Green Neon Tetra is identical to the Cardinal tetra but with green coloration. They are omnivores in nature and will accept a high quality flake diet or Northfin premium foods. 

The scientific name for the Green Neon Tetra is Paracheirodon simulans.

We feed our Green Neon Tetras a mix of Northfin Community and Veggie. They also get an occasional treat of frozen foods such as daphnia, cyclopods and baby brine shrimp.

Beautiful & healthy

I ordered a second batch of green neons for my 55 gallon and the little guys fit right in with the big group. No DOAs. All are healthy and thriving with their classic, stunning brilliance.

Vibrant Green Neons from Flip Aquatics!

I ordered Green Neon Tetras from Flip Aquatics and couldn’t be happier. The fish arrived healthy, energetic, and full of life right out of the bag. They’re stunning little swimmers with a cool, iridescent glow that really adds character to my tank. Super impressed with the quality—glad I chose Flip Aquatics!

Beautiful little fish!

Our green neon tetras arrived today, and are in the quarantine tank. So tiny, and the colors are amazing! During the day, they were an aqua green, but in the evening they deepend to a sapphire with hints of purple! I ordered five, but received six. Thank you! So far they seem happy, healthy, and hungry! ❤️ The only downside to this transaction, was that my kid got to the Swedish fish candy before I did. 😉

Absolutely beautiful!

I’m so happy I have these little beauties! I have a school of 12 in a heavily planted 29 gallon. They arrived very healthy, packed well for shipping and colored up quickly in my aquarium. They do separate but mostly school together. They have the peaceful nature I needed to complete my community.

Perfection!

All 20 (+ a few extras i think) arrived in perfect condition and acclimated well following the included instructions. Colored up nicely after just an hour or so. These are beautiful schooling fish and not shy at all for me. Eating well on the first day. I already love these little guys and will be ordering from Flip again!!! Thank you!!

Healthy Lively Fish

Ordered mid March in Minnesota (temps averaging 25F-45F) with a heat pack, fish arrived in package with no problems. I started up a new tank three months ago, water parameters were all within the recommended ranges for tropical fish with the tank cycled. I got tired of Tetras from local big box stores dying after only 2 days in the tank. Kuhli Loaches and Panda Corys were thriving. I tried and tried, slightly adjusting water parameters (specifically hardness, my water's a bit on the harder side), big box store tetras kept dying. I figured I'd give it a gamble and ordered 20 Green Neon Tetras from here, as I've heard big box stores may not have the best genetics or healthy fish. It's going on five days, they are all still alive, healthy looking, with extremely active schooling behavior. They are still shy when I walk up to the tank, going towards the bottom and behind cover. Hoping it changes as they get used to their new environment.

Wonderful! I got a +1

I was so excited that Flip Aquatics has these in stock. They’re so darn cute and beautiful. The price was great and the fish were super healthy and all alive, I actually just ordered more haha!
I’m very happy with my purchase and the prices, I love the nano fish here. Thank you!

So cute!

So I’ve had these beauties for a couple weeks now and I have to say, they are gorgeous and tiny! All of them arrived alive and colored up after drip acclimation and settling into the tank. Received 2 extra fish and a tiny hitch hiker as well, I’m pretty sure he’s a Malaysian trumpet snail but I guess it might be a rabbit. He’s still so tiny I can’t tell and almost never see him.
They school wonderfully and are starting to color up as they grow. I’m really loving the deep, shining blue they have under my lights. They don’t bother the shrimp and are just an all around great addition. I’m really loving them!

Wonderful little fish. I love them.

I ordered two separate groups of 8 green neons. Flip sent 9 both times. They showed up in great shape. The second batch they were a little gray at first, maybe from the stress of the trip, but they colored up very nicely within 20 minutes of being in their tank. All of them seem active and healthy.

I am so appreciative of Flip. The process for scheduling delivery is really easy and reasonable, and start to finish this was just a great way to get fish that my local stores don't seem to keep very often.

Healthy, happy, and great fish for schooling

I ordered a few extra of these to add to an already decent school of about 15. These are the most 'schooling' fish in my 75G and really add nice color -- nicer than standard neons in my opinion. This is one of those where the website picture does it no justice.

Stellar Green Neon Tetras

First time purchase from Flip has exceeded expectations in every way. Packaging and delivery were superior with all fish arriving vigorous and healthy. Flip Aquatics my new "go to" source for what I'm looking for. Highly recommend.

Wonderfully Packaged Fish Shipment

The fish are wonderful. They all arrived alive our order was delayed and it got here in about 48 hours. The packaged fish were in excellent condition. Everyone survived the delayed shipping ordeal. I would order again and again from Flip. We no longer use other fresh water fish places online or LFS. We just have the best luck with Flip.

Love!

I love these guys! I'm always skeptical about purchasing imported fish, but these guys arrived amazingly healthy and have doubled in size since I purchased them. I wish I could add a picture.

Beautiful Healthy Green Neon Tetras

I'd never seen green neon tetras before learning about Flip Aquatics. I am very satisfied with the fish I received. They were very carefully packaged, and arrived safe, sound, and healthy. I find the green neons to be prettier than regular neon tetras. The red is more muted the neons, so it does not distract from the blue green iridescent color. They are a bit smaller than regular neons, and they school like teal sparks in the water. Once settled, they are quite brave for tetras, coming up to the glass when I get close to inquire when I will be serving breakfast. I absolutely love them.
