Care guide at a glance
Paracheirodon innesi
Description
A selectively bred neon in which the blue stripe is broadened and broken into a sparkling, diamond-like scatter across the body. The same fish underneath, with the iridescence redistributed.
Feeding
Small flake, micro-pellets and frozen daphnia, cyclops and baby brine shrimp.
Compatibility
Peaceful community fish. Keep in groups of ten or more. Avoid tankmates large enough to swallow them, including angelfish.
Behaviour and personality
Active mid-water shoaler that shows the diamond effect best when the group moves together under good lighting.
Before you buy
The sparkle depends heavily on lighting; under dim light it looks much like a standard neon. Best added to a mature aquarium.
