Neons

Neon tetra fish in the aquarium are one of the most colorful and noticeable fresh water fish that that you can have in your fish tank. Neon's are a schooling fish and it is recommended that you have at least six of these fish in your tank. The neon's are a relativity small fish and when put in the aquarium in numbers offers an interesting effect in your tank. When they school in the tank mixed in with larger fish it gives your aquarium a more interesting view of sea life habitates and makes your aquarium more enjoyable. The neon is a brightly colored fish that basically have a bright blue body with a red horizontal stripe. If you have ever seen these fish you immediately know where they get there name from. They look like a neon light in the tank. I always make it a point to maintain several of these fish in my tank. I like to have diversity in the aquarium . There are different species of fish you can purchase that will swim near the top of the tank, fish that will swim in the middle of the tank and the bottom dweller fish. When you have all of these fish swimming at different levels in your tank and then you add the schooling fish such as the neon's or tiger barbs or any of several schooling fish, your aquarium becomes a living breathing entity that will give you great pleasure and enjoyment.
