Description

Neon tetras originated from the clear water and blackwater streams and tributaries in the Orinoco and Amazon river basins in Brazil, Columbia, and Peru. These are regions of blackwaters beneath dense forest canopies that allow very little light to get through. Neon tetras live in shoals mainly in the middle water layers and feed on insects, worms and small crustaceans.

霓虹灯起源于巴西、哥伦比亚和秘鲁奥里诺科河和亚马逊河流域的清水和黑水溪流及支流。这些是茂密森林树冠下的黑水区域，几乎没有光线可以透过。霓虹灯鱼主要生活在中水层的浅滩中，以昆虫、蠕虫和小型甲壳类动物为食。
