currently home to 2 lonely neon tetras, what would you stock back up with?
the two neons did have friends, until the brutal Sid Vicious aka a German Blue Ram, killed them all plus wiping out three corys. he died suddenly and without warning on friday, suicide maybe? anyway. this isn't my tank, it's my brothers. he's moving house at the end of the month, so the lonely only tetras will have to make do until the move, but after the move, what would you do? a couple more neon friends will be added of course, but what else? it will have bogwood/slate decor plus sand substrate with a gravel base, and maybe another attempt at planting. previous attempts haven't been so successful. it's 15 US gallons.

Do you just want 'shoaling' fish?

yes he did really, or some unusual, but not aggressive options. he's been made a bit wary of cichlids now!

You could get some more neon tetras. Rummy-nosed tetras look nice as well. Cardinals would do fine. Just small peaceful tetras would do great if you want shoaling fish. O wait so you said that your german blue ram died right. because if he didnt then the new fish you get will probably get killed if they are shoaling fish.

How about some harlequin rasboras or some penguin tetras? I have both these in my tank with some neon tetras and they all shoal in their groups.

Hi catxx
Why not consider one of the many species of corydoras available. A small school of them would be nice on the bottom of the tank, along with the neons on top.

yeah, i second the corydoras
and since you already have two neons, i would say just get more of those so that they can have more friends to swim with. If you didnt have the neons, i would probably say tiger barbs |
