The Black Neon Tetra Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi is not as closely related to the Neon Tetra as its name implies. Other common names include The BlackTetra. Its specific name was from Dr. Herbert Axelrod, the well known fish expert, musician, author and convicted 'criminal'.
The Black Neon Tetra comes from Brazil. It is a tropical fish.
Water Conditions
The Black Neon Tetra comes from soft acid water, but it can tolerate harder and slightly alkaline water better than some Tetras. A temperature of 24Ì? C (75Ì? F) is suitable. This fishwould be able to survive short periods up to 32Ì? C(90Ì? F), or down to 18Ì? C (65Ì? F). However, I do not recommend extremes of temperature for any fish, and it should be remembered that stressing fish will make them much more vulnerable to disease.
Companions
The Black Neon Tetra is a schooling fish, and I suggest at least six should be kept together.
It will grow to about one and a half inches (4 cm). It is a small fish, and suitable companions include the other tetras, including Neon Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Glass Bloodfin Tetras, Black Widow Tetras, Emperor Tetras, Head and Tail Light Tetras etc. As well as the other tetras, it can be kept with Zebra Danios, small Gouramis, Corydoras catfish including the Peppered Catfish, small barbs and other small, not too aggressive fish.
The Black Neon Tetra is a little larger, and much faster than the Neon Tetra so it is a little better able to cope with larger fish.
Food
The Black Neon Tetra is an omnivore, like most fish and will eat any normal fish food readily and can feed at any level of the aquarium, although they seem to prefer the top. As with nearly all fish, it will benefit from some live food such as wrigglers (mosquito larvae) Daphnia, Blood worms, etc. Frozen blood worms also make a welcome change to flakes.
Breeding
Before attempting to breed This fish condition the prospective parents with good food. Fish of about one year old are suitable for breeding. The sex of the fish can be determined by its body shape. The female are much deeper in the body than the males.
Although The Black NeonTetra can be kept in water harder and more alkaline than its natural habitat, for breeding it is necessary to get closer to what They would get in the Amazon. Breeding requires acidic water with no more than 4Ì? of hardness. Use dim lighting.
The Black Neon Tetra is an egg scatterer, laying adhesive (sticky) eggs over plants, etc. One female can produce several hundred eggs; both parents will eat their own eggs and babies, so it is normal to remove the parents after spawning. Like many fish, it often spawns in the early morning.
Raising the fry can be difficult because of their small size. The first food will normally be protozoa (infusoria). Fine fry food like Sera Micron can be used, graduating to slightly coarse fry food like Sera Micropan or HBH Fry Bites. At all ages, it benefits from suitable size live food.
