Hyphessobrycon Herbertaxelrodi
Rating:
97% of 100

The Black Neon Tetra is an extremely under-rated schooling fish for aquariums as they are often overlooked because of the monotone coloration but their simplicity and unique body shape along with their phenomenal schooling behavior is something that is only truly appreciated when kept. Black neon tetras have a classic torpedo body shape and get to around 4.5cm, along with their torpedo length the black neon tetras also get relatively round and chunky.

  2. 1st casualty
    100%
    it was absolutely amazing to have witnessed the change. when they where in the bag, they where plain-no colour.
    I floated the bag for 40mins,
    and at the end of that duration, they had a little bit of colour,
    10mins after I released them, they had nearly all their colour!!
    next day and full colour.
    cool sweet little guys. great as a shoal.
    all of them where happy and healthy, bar the littlest, right form the begging of being released he hung by his lonesome and the others shoaled together instantly.
    gave him a little bit of time (after all it is shock ect)
    but nope, had to remove him before my catfish ate him.

    pretty good, considering my WHOLE tank is full of fish from LIVEFISH and the ONLY casualty.
    I don't blame LOVEFISH, I think this time they may not have had such an easy going journey.

    -also to note
    (and I will leave a separate reference for that fish)
    in the same box,
    I had a molly that wasn't doing so well either.
    it hung down the bottom and once it was off and swimming,
    it swam 'wobbly'
    Seems perfectly fine now.
    (a day later)

  4. Stunning schooling tetra
    100%
    I have admired these fish for a long time and finally purchased my own school for a new tank set up. They are coping extremely well with the high temps and fast flow of the tank and seem to really enjoy playing in the turbulent water. I'm really pleased I made this choice, very high quality fish and in my opinion much more outstanding than a regular neon.

    again i keep saying it, but so impressed by the quality of fish i get thru Livefish. far better than i see in tanks at the local fish shop. the black neons are quite striking in the tank with the black and fluro stripes and their glowing orange eyeshadow !
