Nickle Pickle Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 sounds like it would be alright to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Rather than adding neons you might want to add some more of these: 1 x silvertip tetra 1 x glowlight tetra 3 x black neon tetra Tetras are a schooling fish and like to be in groups of atleast 6 of their own kind.

Catfish Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 How long has the tank been set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I realise that, I only have those odd numbers because the rest of their schools died. They all school together seemingly quite happily anyway. Turns out LFS doesn't have black neons in stock, and I wasn't happy with the glowlights they had and they only had 2 silvertips which I would actually, rather avoid now anyway as I found them a bit more agressive than the others. The tank has been set up for... 3 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Alright then, how about this. I also have an AR620 (not the tall one) which is.. about 90 litres that currently has a bunch of pond snails? the little brown ones anyway. Was thinking about a large school of Cardinals say 16 or so, 1 bristlenose for algae control and 2 small loaches (zebra or dwarf) to deal to the snails. I was thinking that once the loaches were done decimating the snail population, I could transfer them to my AR850? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
