The Museum[]

The Neon Tetra can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"Neon tetras get their names from the beautiful blue metallic line on their bodies. Although their shy, gentle fish, surprisingly they're related to piranha, though very distantly. They have very sharp and narrow teeth, an odd contrast to their beauty. They are delicate fish who tend to be very sensitive to the cleanliness and temperature of water."

Upon catching the fish, the player will say the following:

"I caught a neon tetra! Wow, that's far out, man!"
