The ideal surrounding conditions for black neon tetras include dark substrate, open swimming space, live plants, subdued lighting and water current in the upper surface of the water in the aquarium where the fish would prefer swimming. Since, they love to live in groups, make sure that you keep at least 6 fishes together. As far as the diet goes, these fish are undemanding and eats any fish food offered. However, for a good health a varied diet of brine shrimp, small live worms, freeze-dried foods and flake are necessary.

     If you observe the body type, the sexes are easy to find out. Males are slim compared to the females which are stocky and full bodied. While breeding, it is recommended that you provide a separate fish tank with dark substrate, water plants, dim light along with soft acidic water. In case the room is too bright, you can dim the light by placing a cardboard on the sides. While selecting breeding pairs ensure that they are healthy and are at least one year old. Even though the fish younger than a year may lay eggs but the best outcomes are attained by mature fishes. Usually, the female fish lays eggs early in the morning and the sticky eggs are spread out on the substrate or on the surface of the plants. You may like to know more on aquarium fish.
