Water Conditions
The wild green neon tetra comes from extremely soft, acidic water at temperatures around 24 to 29°C (75-81°F). These are the ideal conditions for this fish. It will adjust to neutral water with some hardness and temperatures near the bottom of the range, and is fine in a community tank with small peaceful fish.
Filters with excessively strong water intake are dangerous because this little fish is prone to get sucked in by strong currents, perhaps even more so than the neon tetra.

“Good Master Mustardseed, I know your patience well. That same cowardly, giant-like ox-beef hath devoured many a gentleman of your house. I promise you, your kindred hath made my eyes water ere now.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
