on the sign on the tank of petsmart it says black neons get 6 inches. has anyone ever seen one that big??? that would be quite a sight! perhaps a typo? the signs also says dwarf puffers eat flake food and that the channel cat is a community fish
 
Black neons are like the name says, black versions of the neon. They only reach 1.5 inches.

Petsmart labels are always completely inaccurate, they really shouldn't even have recommendations on them or stats because they're always wrong.
 
hmm ill keep an eye out and fix ones i see need fixen!

"aquarium maintanance is so hard"

"what do you mean the monthly water changes??"

"you have to change the water????"

"um yes ma'am how long has your tank been up?"

"about 6 months now, why do you have to change the water????"


(actual conversation)

my favorite is "wow where do you guys get all the saltwater? do you get it shipped in like in a gas tanker????"

lol
 
Actually, black neons tend to get a bit larger than "regular" neons. But definitely not 6" More like 2" .

Also, they're not actually neons, but an entirely different species.
 
So hard to keep from saying duh that my response was in answer to cdawsons....;)
