The Neon Tetra's scientific name is Paracheirodon innesi. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.5 inches in length, the Neon Tetra is generally passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported. External sexual differences are limited to the fact that females are typically larger than males. Paracheirodon innesi should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 6.8 - 7.5, temperature between 72 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include keep 3 or more and a well established aquarium.
