Can Betta go with neon tetra?
i wouldnt recommend it as neon tetras should be kept in schools of 5 and the stress couldnt easily kill the tetra
Will a neon tetra and a cardinal tetra coexist with a male and female Betta?
The problem will not be the tetras coexisting with the Bettas. It will be the female Betta. She will undoubtedly be killed by the male. He may well spawn her first but afterwards, if she is left in his presence he will kill her. Also if he has ova or fry to look after he will kill the tetras in defence of his young.
Is a neon tetra a schooling fish?
Yes, tetras van live in schools normally with 3 to 5 other tetras
Do neon tetras actually have neon in them?
Neon light bulbs work by transmitting electricity through neon gas to produce light. Neon tetras are not electric, so neon is not the culprit of the fishes shimmer. The colors that you see on a neon tetra are a result of iridescence.
Do neon or cardinal tetras really need to be placed in a settled tank?
yes
What fish can you keep with angelfish and neon tetra?
angel fish can eat neon tetras is the simple answer, but i have angel fish and neon tetras in the same tank and the angel fish does not bother the neons, although this may be because the angel fish is not full grown yet so it is a 50% chance
Can neon tetra live with algae eater?
My neon tetras lived with a couple of algae eaters quite happily (I think. It was difficult to ask them).
Can you keep Betta fish with Neon Tetra fish?
You can put at least 5 neon tetras with Betta's because neon tetras need to be in a school. If you only put 1-3 neon tetras, then they will probably be eaten by the Betta because you won't have enough neon tetras to be in a school. The purpose for a school is to protect themselves from predators with a group and if you only have 1-3 neon tetras, then they will hide and get really stressed out. So, get at least 5 neon tetras and another important thing is, get a big enough tank for your Betta and neon tetra. That is, because, as you know, Betta fish are territorial and need their own territory and if the neon tetras enter their territory (if the tank is small), then the Betta will probably attack (that is only if you don't have enough neon tetras and not a big enough tank). So, it is important to get at least a 10- 15 gallon tank and get at least 5 neon tetras for 1 Betta fish. 1-3 neon tetras won't work. They will not be in a school and will be stressed out and hide from the Betta. A thing about neon tetras that is interesting and is cool is that, neon tetras bury their eggs in the gravel (Make sure to only have gravel!) if their eggs are not going to hatch. Also eat them.~Thank you, and good luck!~
Can neon tetras mate?
Neon Tetras can not get pregnant. They are egg layers and EXTREMELY difficult to breed.
What is an interesting fact on neon tetras?
At night, the blue and red stripes on a neon tetra's body turn silver (as they rest). In the morning, they will reactivate. Hope it helped!
What kind of food do neon fish eat?
Assuming that you are referring to neon tetras, there are several brands of commercial "Tetra Flakes" that can be bought at nearly every pet store. I believe that there is also a pellet version of "Tetra Flakes".
Will Siamese fighting fish eat neon tetras?
This is a tough one. Your tetra's life is in jeopardy here. It might and might not.
