Neon tetras have a normal lifespan of 1 to 2 years. This kind of fish usually moves at the bottom of the water. They are omnivorous and like to eat small insects and plant debris. When raised artificially, they can be fed with artificial baits, daphnia, bloodworms and other foods.
The lifespan of neon tetras is affected by many factors, including the rearing environment, diet and health status. They like a weakly acidic soft water environment and have strong adaptability. However, they are small in size and may become the "target" of other large fish in the tank. In addition, neon tetras like to live in groups. It is recommended that when raising them, it is best to put a whole group in the fish tank.
Under appropriate conditions, the lifespan of neon tetras can reach 2 to 3 years, but a good rearing environment and suitable food need to be provided. Neon tetras are small fish from South America. With blue, red and white stripes, they are called neon fish. The maximum length is only 3.8 centimeters.
