Neon Tetra Farming


Tim and I did the math.  Greeny Aquaculture produces around 62,000 Neon Tetras per day.  They spawn over 1500 pairs every day.

Neon Tetra fry in the breeding tank.

Rows of breeding tanks prepped and ready for the next batch.


The eggs and fry are highly light sensitive.

The racks under cover.

THe fry are transfered to these boxes where they will be in the dark for another 2 weeks.  From here they go to small ponds for another 3 weeks.


The fry eventually make it to the large ponds to grow out for the final 4 weeks before being sorted and prepared to be shipped.

I am really curious, dont they use filters or something to provide o2 in the breeding tank but just a plastic container in the tank.
