This tetra accepts nearly all kinds of food. Flakes, live food, granules, frozen food are fine.
Breeding
The neon tetra comes from the Amazon river regions. So if you want to breed them, you have to copy the conditions like in the river throughout the summer; the rainy season. The best way is to change about 50% of water in order to simulate raining. You should separate the breeding pair from the others and use subdued light only. After they lay eggs, take out the pair from the aquarium, so babies will not be eaten.
Sexing
The Neon tetra female is rounder than the male and the male has a straight lines. This all is caused by eggs in the female's belly.
Lifespan
I was surprised when I found out, that Neon tetras live 5, sometimes 8, or even more years. It is very unusual for small fish to live more then few years.
