The Albino Neon Tetra is a striking variation of the popular Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi), a small and peaceful freshwater fish native to South America, particularly found in the Amazon basin. The Albino Neon Tetra shares many similarities with its non-albino counterpart but possesses a distinct albino coloration, which is characterized by a lack of melanin pigment, resulting in a pale or translucent body with bright red eyes.

 

  • Appearance: Albino Neon Tetras have a slender, elongated body with a high body profile and a forked tail fin. Their coloration is predominantly transparent or pale with vibrant red or pinkish hues on their fins, particularly noticeable on the adipose fin and the lower part of the caudal fin. The eyes are bright red due to the absence of melanin pigment.

  • Size: They typically grow to about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) in length, making them ideal for small to medium-sized aquarium setups.

  • Behavior: Like their non-albino counterparts, Albino Neon Tetras are peaceful and social fish that thrive in groups. They are best kept in schools of six or more individuals to help them feel secure and reduce stress. They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their environment, especially among dense vegetation and subdued lighting.

  • Tank Requirements: Albino Neon Tetras prefer well-established aquariums with dense vegetation, driftwood, and rocky hiding places mimicking their natural habitat. They thrive in water with a temperature range of 72 to 78°F (22 to 26°C) and a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.5). They are sensitive to changes in water parameters, so maintaining stable conditions is crucial for their health and well-being.

  • Diet: These fish are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods, including high-quality flake, pellet, and freeze-dried foods. They also enjoy live and frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Providing a balanced diet rich in protein and plant matter will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.

  • Compatibility: Albino Neon Tetras are peaceful community fish and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive species that share similar water requirements. However, they may be intimidated or outcompeted for food by more aggressive or larger tankmates, so choose tankmates wisely.
