neon tetra

Hello everyone! I have plans for a new 55 gallon freshwater tank. Money is no factor right now, but I want to see if my idea is even feasible.   The tank will be 55 gallons, but can be upgraded to 75 gallons. Bottom substrate is probably going to be gravel with sand covering it. Plant life is...

Hi, So i've recently bought a group of ~6 neon tetras for my planted 10 gallon aquarium and I've ran into a few problems as of recently: 1.One of my tetras has already died, possibly from stress, but i tried acclimating them in the aquarium water mixed with the stores for an hour. There weren't...

The peace of my new tank is now shattered. I offered up the morning feed today, switching on the tank light to find my six neon tetras belting around and pursuing each other, with duels every few seconds on the castle ramparts and behind the plants. Also my blue dwarf gouramis' behaviour has...

  This is my first Planted set up. Before this I was strictly into cichlids and monster fishes. Just loving this new dimension. It is peaceful beyond words. I have tried to capture a piece of that serenity in my video posted above. Do tell me if you like my set up. Thank you guys.

Hi everyone,   I have a 6 gallon tank with 4 neon tetras living in it at the moment. About 9 months ago I lost a neon tetra when my water quality got low due to rotting plants. I believe the neon tetra had parasites because when it died (I watched the whole thing happen) it released a bunch of...

----- cw: kind of gruesome fish death???? I mean nothing out of the usual I don't think, but still gross.     Okay, so I just moved up to college in NYC from Maryland about a week ago and brought my tank with me; five Neon Tetras, one Tri-colored Shark, and one Betta fish.   I checked the...

Hi I recently bought a 90 litre aquarium and it currently contains 5 Neon Tetra's the amonium and nitrate levels are all 0 and the fish seem lively and happy. I am planning on gradually planning on building up my aquarium to contain 10 Neons, 3-5 Platy's, 3-5 Guppies and 2 Dwarf Loaches. I have...

Hi everyone,   I'm new to the forum and I signed up today to specifically ask (and warn) about planarian.   Last night I witnessed a horrible, terrifying scene, but I'll get to that in a minute.   My 6 gallon Fluval Edge was hit with a fungus outbreak a few month ago and two of my five neon...

Do neon tetras court before they breed? I have had them breed once, but I only saw the eggs drop on my plant.     I have one female and two males, the female has been fat with eggs for a week or so and I have been waiting for her to drop them.  One male is staying with her and keeps on bumping...

First off, here are my parameters.   20 gallon freshwater with biowheel HOB filter that has marineland diamond blend(ammonia neutralizer crystals plus carbon) in a media bag. Temperature is 77 degrees(might drop down a degree at night when I have the heater in the room off(aquarium heater is...

I moved house about 6 weeks ago and I'm very pleased to report that everyone survived the journey and has settled in. However... the PH in my new house is very high (around 8.2). I have a couple of Platies which should be fine, and 5 neon tetra's which I understand could be problematic. I've...

Hello everyone :) this is our new journal following our updated upgraded tank we moved all our fish and such from our 45 gallon bow which will be used to house a Merauke Island Blue Tongue and a Red eyed Crocodile Skink probably turned into a double layer tank with some diy shelving added in but...

So I recently began stocking my 36gallon bowfront and decided to go with a semi-aggressive theme. I added a pair of angels and a pair of bolivian rams to start with and everything was going great. I noticed my white cloud minnows were outgrowing their home in with my betta so I moved them over...

I've just noticed that one of my Neon Tetra's has pale patches on its red stripe. After a quick Google search, it very sadly looks like neon tetra disease. That said, I need to be sure before I carry out what would be my first euthanasian. Other than these pale patches, the fish seems to be...

I have a 30 gallon that is going to be redone.  I read up on some of your guy's ideas and have kind of put together another possibility.   I would want a betta, hopefully I can get a female betta, male if I have to 4-7 neon tetras a few breeds of livebearers, probably mollies, guppies, and...

Hi there. I have a school of 9 neon tetras in a 70l cycled aquarium - 5 of them have been in there for 2 months, the other 4 have been in about 2 weeks less than that as the LFS hadnt QT'd them when i went the first time. One of the original 5 has been obviously very domineering and chasing the...

Hi all,   About 3 months ago I bought a second hand 100L (22gallon) tank from a lady that lives nearby. It has been up and running for more than a year, and I inherited her fish:   2 mollies 2 zebra danio 1 pleco (I think dwarf) 1 neon tetra   I added to it 2 danios that I already had in another...

Hello, today whilst observing my fish tank I noticed a white discolouration on the tail of my neon tetra's. Worried I looked up on the internet to see what the cause is and I came across Neon Tetra Disease but I'm not sure and seeing as the only advice I've found on how to treat it is quarantine...
