The Black Neon Tetra is a hardy and attractive schooling fish known for its bold black lateral stripe contrasted by a shimmering white-silver stripe that catches the light beautifully. Although less brightly coloured than the Neon Tetra, its striking pattern and active nature make it a favourite among aquarists. This peaceful species thrives in schools of six or more and is highly adaptable, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced fishkeepers. Black Neon Tetras mix well with most peaceful community fish and grow to about 2 inches (5 cm) in length.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes, you can order fish along with dry goods. However, if the dry goods are heavy or bulky, it may be more cost-effective to place two separate orders. In that case, you could ship the dry goods using a slower, more affordable shipping option.

If your order has not shipped yet, you can email us your correct shipping address, and we will update it for you.

On weekdays, if we receive your order before 2 p.m., it will be shipped out the same day. Dry goods are shipped from Monday to Friday. Orders that include livestock are only shipped from Monday to Thursday to avoid transit over the weekend.

At checkout, you can leave your request in the comments box.

Our locker boxes are located in the foyer of our store at 230 Hanlon Creek Blvd, Unit 107, Guelph. The room is accessible from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
