Neon tetras "real"?

[Fishie]

Were they modified any way by scientist or anything. I know glo-fish but never heard about neons. They don't look real natural.

Yes, neon tetras and cardinal tetras are naturally colored.

They are naturally coloured however there colours are naturally enhanced when they are sold in lfs.

Yes, they are naturally colored, but are far more vibrant in aquariums than in nature due to lighting differences, seeing as their natural biotope is heavily shaded and often has dark, tannin-stained water, far from the bright fluorescent lighting in home aquaria, don't believe me...look at how subdued their colors look just after you turn the lights on.
