    They are still babies so when they grow they will color up much more (right now they are about as small as an ant). I also just added them to the tank today so they were stressed from shipping. Once they settle in they will look even better :)

    Wow you are simply amazing when it comes to FW planted tanks. Your tanks are always beautiful. Good stuff.

    And I have a sort of soft spot for Neons...the first fish I ever had in my life was a school of 3.

    Well they are cardinal tetras but close enough to neons :) the cardinal tetras have the blue stripe that goes all the way through the body where the neons blue stripes dont. The cardinal tetras are also a little bit larger that neons but they are virtually the same fish :)

    Anyway, i must agree with you neons and/or cardinal tetras are awesome! especially in a nice sized school under metal halides. The blue and red stripes glimmer so nicely under intense light they and just look so cool against the green vegetation!
