    Yes, you are correct, that is one of the differences as well. Sorry I didn't go into specifics.

    There are some interesting bits here on Paracheirodon simulans, the green neon tetra.

    Green neons do look green, but at an angle of 45 degrees or so. As such, profile pictures always shows up as blue.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Thanks for clarifying!

    Though i did hope there were a blue tetra as well as a green one.
    Maybe a red, yellow and green. Traffic light tank. xD

    Green Neon tetra

    Would like to check whether green neon tetra have any red colour at the lower part of their body.

    I bought 100pcs yesterday those packet in bags, size is less than 1cm. I notice some of them have slight red colour on their lower body when in my tank. Could it be neon tetra??

    hk75, I have merged your thread with this one since this thread is a recent discussion on P. simulans.

    Yes, they sometimes show the red colouration which is very much less pronounced, see http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.ed..._simulans.html

The lateral blue-green stripe extends to the base of the caudal fin. These fish can grow to a maximum overall length of approximately 2.5 cm.
