Where does Neon Tetra Fish lives?
These fish live in shoals in the smaller rivers of South America. The tropical forest is like a green roof over the river. The leaves are so thick that they do not let suns rays through, and the water is black. The fish are used to living in the darkness and the find each other with the help of the bright blue stripes on their bodies. If a shaft of sunlight gets through, it lights up the water and the stripe flashes like a neon ad on a city street at night. That is why this fish is called the Neon Tetra.
