Albino Neon Tetra | Planted Tank Fish | Single

The Albino Neon Tetra is a unique and eye-catching variant of the popular Neon Tetra, known for its pale, almost translucent coloration and characteristic bright red stripe. This fish is an excellent choice for planted tanks, offering both visual appeal and a peaceful demeanor.

Color: The Albino Neon Tetra has a translucent white or pale pink body, with a vibrant, iridescent red stripe running horizontally from its nose to the tail. Unlike the traditional Neon Tetra, the blue stripe is absent, giving it a more delicate appearance.

Size: Like its standard counterpart, the Albino Neon Tetra grows to about 1.2 to 1.5 inches (3 to 4 cm) in length.

Shape: It has a streamlined, slender body typical of tetras, with slightly rounded fins and a forked tail.

Temperament: Albino Neon Tetras are peaceful, schooling fish that thrive in groups of 6 or more. They are non-aggressive and get along well with other small, peaceful fish.

Activity: These tetras are active swimmers, often seen darting around the middle to lower parts of the tank, particularly in well-planted areas where they feel secure.

Water Parameters: They prefer soft, slightly acidic water with a pH of 5.5-6.5 and a temperature range of 70-81°F (21-27°C).

Planted Tanks: Albino Neon Tetras are ideal for planted tanks. The dense vegetation provides them with hiding spots, mimics their natural habitat, and enhances their colors against the green backdrop. The plants also contribute to stable water conditions, which are important for the health of these tetras.
