I would like to keep them myself and want to ask, is it difficult to keep them alive?

Green Neon Tetras are my favorite Paracheirodon species.
I bought my first Green Neons about 40 years ago and I presently have 24 of them.
They don't get quite as large as Neon Tetras and they are much smaller than Cardinals. I often keep them with wild Discus in planted display tanks. They do well in warm water I think they are a bit hardier than Cardinal Tetras. They are very undemanding and have a special charm all their own. I find them much more interesting than Cardinals.
They are harder to find than Neons and Cardinals but I highly recommend buying a school whenever you get the chance.
