Red neon fish
Paracheirodon axelrodi
About me: Hello, I am a red neon - not to be confused with the "neon tetra", which is also swimming around here somewhere. I am a bit more demanding in my keeping, but what really distinguishes me from him is my consistent red coloring on my belly. Important if you keep me is the following: Since I am relatively small, I ask that you do not keep me with larger fish. Especially the angelfish scare me. They see me more as a snack for rather than as a serious housemate.
