Black Neon Tetra Fish

The Black Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) is a calm and easy-to-care-for fish. It’s a little bigger than a regular Neon Tetra and does well in small or community tanks.

Aquarium Setup and Size

Black Neon Tetras come from South America. In the wild, they live in dark water with lots of leaves, wood, and cones. You can make them feel at home by adding things like Indian Almond Leaves, guava leaves, driftwood, and alder cones to your tank. These natural items help keep the water soft and healthy for them. They grow to about 1.5 to 2 inches long.

Temperament 

These fish are peaceful and like to swim in groups. They usually do not fight with other fish. They sometimes do well with shrimp but do best in community setups with other small schooling fish.

Diet

We feed our Black Neon Tetras a mix of Northfin Community and Veggie pellets. We also give them frozen foods like baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and cyclops to help them stay strong and healthy.

Live Arrival Guarantee – Always Included

We offer a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee on all our fish. Shop online with confidence and peace of mind that our livestock will be delivered right to your door alive and healthy.

Black Neon Tetras rule

Enjoying my recent addition of 6 black neon tetras. They school near the top and pretty much enjoy it there.

BLACK NEON TETRA

The little guys arrived and where full of life. A beautiful fish that gets along well with the other varieties of tetras in the aquarium. Like all tetras they school and are forever on the move.

Amazing Black Neon Tetras

About ten days ago I received 15 black neon tetras from Flip Aquatics. The fish were packed wonderfully in breather bags. The neons arrived healthy and larger than expected at 1.25”. They acclimated nicely and look amazing swimming around in a 20 gallon long. I have not lost any neons or white cloud minnows that I ordered at the same time. These may be common tropical fish but they look incredible. Don’t miss out on these beauties. I highly recommended them. Two thumbs up to Flip Aquatics.

Lovely Little Baby

Looks like a young one (less than an inch) which is great because I am happy to see this one grow up. Arrived alive and spunky still. Ate immediately upon placement in a quarantine tank which is a great sign!

Black Neon, LOVE THEM!

They are larger than a neon tetra, and seen to be more hardy. Arrived very healthy and active. They may have less color than some others, but they are very pretty with that large black stripe, accented with the white neon stripe, and the red eyes!

Black Neon tetras

All the fish arrived alive and active. The heat pack was still warm which made me feel a ton better opening the package. I even got an extra one. All are doing well a week into quarantine, and I plan on getting a few more to complete my school.

Great Fish!

I purchased 10 of them, they sent 11 which I appreciate! They all came in healthy and active, all are still doing great almost a week later. I did use the overnight shipping which they also recommended. It was nicely packaged, the bags did not leak. I will be purchasing more fish in the future.

It’s been a few weeks since the tetras moved into my tank, and they’re still doing great. Nice-looking and healthy fish.
