I love how sometimes you see one “special”neon going in the opposite direction than all the other neons. He’s probably thinking to himself “why are all you idiots going the wrong way....you should be following me!”

Me I am wondering how they know there is 600 neons in that tank, I mean how does one count 600 neons...lol...

When I used to import fish we used to bring in 2000 at a time, they were always really cool in a large group. All tetras are amazing in large numbers. I think it has something to do with being related to Piranhas.

You count them as you catch them out of the shop tank and put them in buckets before bagging them up. That's how we did it in the shop. And if customers wanted 100 or a 1000, we would have 2 people counting and put 50 or 100 fish in each bucket and then each bag.

You can also take a photograph/ screen shot of the tank and count the individual fish. It will give you a pretty good estimate of how many are in there.

Probably never going to happen because of the distance I would have to travel everyday, but I would love to work in a pet store/aquarium store.

How do you know there are 600 neon tetras, there might be 1 cardinal in that tank

And the one cardinal stands out like a sore thumb

round and round and round they go.... I wonder if the circular tank affects their comfort. Do the tetras know that there is an "end" when they are going in an endless loop? do they feel more comfortable that they can just keep swimming forward endlessly? Does it create a perception of infinity for the fish? "just keep swimming just keep swimming..." ok maybe too much coffee today....

Does the right hand fin get bigger, as it is doing more work.
