Nearly every aquarist has had a shoal of neons at one time in their lives, making these fish the most popular fish sold in stores today. These easy to keep little fish mix well with most other small fish and shine supreme in the aquarium. A planted aquarium containing soft acidic water brings out the best in these fish.
