Tetras are small, delightful fish that — in the wild — are always found in groups. The average diamond tetra size is quite small. Their maximum size is just over 2 inches long.

Adult neon tetras, in contrast, usually grow to a shorter length of approximately 1.5 inches. As a result, size alone is ...
