Title:
Neon Tetra, (Paracheirodon innesi), Characidae, Iridescent Stripe, Charican, Characin, Characiformes
This was once the most highly prized tropical fish in the 1930's, but now takes second place to the similar Cardinal Tetra. This species is native to clearwater or blackwater streams in eastern Peru, southeastern Colombia and western Brazil, including the tributaries of the Solimoes

At night when resting, the blue and red become silver, in the morning when it wakes it the colors recover. It grows to approximately 3 cm (1.2 in) in length. This species displays a slight sexual dimorphism in that the female has a slightly larger belly, and a bent iridescent stripe rather than the straight stripe displayed by the male.
