Diamond Head Neon Tetras feature the iconic neon-blue stripe and vibrant red coloration that have made Neon Tetras one of the most popular aquarium fish in the world. What sets this variety apart is the highly reflective metallic patch on the head, creating a shimmering "diamond-like" effect that catches the light from multiple angles. When kept in schools, their brilliant colors create a breathtaking display.
These tetras are peaceful, active schooling fish that thrive when kept in groups of six or more. They spend most of their time swimming in the middle levels of the aquarium and display their best coloration and natural behavior when maintained in larger schools.
Diamond Head Neon Tetras thrive in stable aquariums with clean water, gentle filtration, and plenty of plant cover. A well-planted aquarium with darker substrate helps enhance their vibrant colors and encourages natural behavior.
