Remarks: Gold neon tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) are a great choice for beginners and small tanks, as well as large schools in larger tanks. They have silver bodies with a blue stripe from the caudal fin to the middle of their body. These differ from normal neon tetras because they do not have as much red visible on the body, and their color is overall more pale in comparison. They should be kept in groups of at least 6 fish.
