I have a red ear turtle and map turtle with a tetra. Tetra came with the 75g tank I bought off of someone. All I can say is that the Tetra is one hell of a survivor, the turtles doesn't even bother to chase it anymore since it's so fast. Surprisingly it sometimes even goes near the turtles without fear. Currently in the process of adding 5 more so it can school with it's kind.

My neon tetras get along with many other fish, but in my tank , their best friends are the guppies. They form a small school while my trio of guppies make an excellent show with their fins. The 2 often compete in foods so i make sure they all get their fair share. My pygmy corys sometimes join them too but they would normally stay away from all the commotions.

Your a great guy subbed!! I have nothing against any of these choices I have a massive 250 gallon south American biotope not all the species I have are necessarily from the Amazon but here's a list of the things I have I don't recommend any of these with your neons if your a beginner. TO have this you need to have a massive aquarium with many different territories and surrounding for different fish and different breeding pairs anyways. The list: Neon tetras Rummynose tetras Hariquin rasboras Guppies Discus A breeding pairs of brislenoses A breeding pair of apistogroamas A breeding pair of rams Pigmy corys Black Venezuelan corys Cherry shrimp A clown pleco And I think that's it just some ideas!

All of these are soft water fish and so are all environmentally compatible with each other. Just some suggestions, I know these combinations work as I've had them in my community tank.

The neons really only live up to their true potential once you get up to 20 gallon tanks, where you can add around 20 neon tetras. Also, might be a bit crowded for a small 5 gallon. A 10 gallon would be a good start, and you can add some more tetras in a 10 gallon as well.
@desklime3026
3 жыл бұрын
Sorry if this is a bit harsh but yes. This is waaaaay too crowded. A 5 gallon is not suitable for many fish. Neon tetras need a school of at the very least 6 so a 10 gallon at the very minimum just for the neon tetras. I don't know much about glow fish but 5 gallons is probably too small. Corydoras also prefer larger schools and while they can survive with 2 or 3 they will do better with more. I don't know how you are judging their happiness, but it's generally pretty hard to tell if like their tanks because they can't talk or express themselves to humans. One of the reasons we keep fish in larger tanks Is to limit the ammonia build up. In too small of a tank with so many fish the bacteria that have grown over time will chemically burn the fishes lungs. They will get stressed as they have nowhere to hide from the other fish or to swim around. If you can’t afford to take care of your fish, it will be better for you and them to give them to a more experienced fish keeper who can take care of them and help them live to be happy and healthy. If you do want to continue with these fish, you will need to separate them soon, but first learn more about how to set up and cycle tank (the nitrogen cycle is very very important) and how to care for your specific fish. I would recommend monitoring them closely in their new tanks and treat with precautionary medications such as general cure from API especially if they have been in your 5 gallon for a while. To keep the stress low on the schooling fish you will need more, at least 6-8 for neon tetras, but make sure to learn how to quarantine those fish first.

Why not go with carnal tetras? They are so much more colorful than neon's A little more expensive but so much more colorful. A hundred canals shoaling back and forth looks stupendous! I once owned a tropical fish store in Liverpool, England. My wife left me, but I still had my fish tank. It was only a four foot tank, but I was happy. If your plants are growing well, chances are your fish are doing well. Plus the fact you can sometimes sale extra plants back to your fish shop. I loved the plants and sometimes better than fish. I hate plastic plants. Keep up the good work!
