NEON TETRAS at the New York Aquarium September 12, 2012 Jesse Waugh Neon TetrasJesse Waugh2011New York Aquarium Neon tetras are beautiful and my favorite fish. They are native to the western Amazon region in Peru, Columbia, and Brazil. They iridesce blue similar to Morphos, and also have a bright red stripe. They are otherwise completely transparent. I shot this clip at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Neon tetras are my favorite fish. They are native to the western Amazon region in Peru, Columbia, and Brazil.
