All of the neon came alive but 1 was...almost white looking its stripes of color faded and nearly gone i kept it kept quarentined from the rest and for a time it seemed to do alright. But in the end...after a few weeks it died. The others seem to be good, but that one was odd in a way I havnt seen before.

All arrived alive and healthy. They started coloring up with in hours of being added to the tank and by the next day they looked exactly like the neons I've had for a few years, only a little smaller. I also purchased some ember tetras in the same order and they are justas healthy. It's been a weeks now with no losses.

My son had his heart set on neon tetras. Unfortunately, I learned too late that many neon tetras are horribly inbred and therefore very unhealthy. Between Petco and PetSmart, I bought 27 of those things and only a single one of them survived; all the other others were dead within a few days of purchase. Decided to try mail order as a last ditch effort. 2 weeks on, 9 of 10 of these m/l neon tetras from AquaHuna are going strong. Even though they were a bit pale on arrival, as advertised, they colored up pretty quickly once they were acclimated and introduced into the tank. Particularly if you are looking for neon tetras, learn from my mistakes and skip the big pet stores. I will definitely order from AquaHuna again.
