The Albino Neon Tetra is a unique and delicate variation of the classic Neon Tetra, featuring a pale pinkish-white body with a soft blue iridescent stripe and striking red eye pigmentation.

Perfect for nano tanks and community setups, Albino Neon Tetras thrive in groups of six or more and do well alongside other small, non-aggressive species. Their subtle coloration offers a beautiful contrast to green plants and natural decor, making them an elegant addition to any freshwater display.
