[tatuny]

Well should i get more danios i only have 1 leopard danios and 1 zebra danios...And i have 5 neon tetra and 1 black neon tetra should i get more black neon tetras or is it okay if he has normal neons with him?

 

[StandbySetting]

Ideally you want 6 of each species, but in my opinion 10+ is always better. That is if your tank will allow this extra stock.

Ideally all of these fish should be in groups of 6+.

What size is your tank?

[soybean]

It's better to have one school of e.g ten of either neon or black, than five of each.

the black neon needs a shoal of his own

 

[soybean]

They're different species, they need to be in groups of their own kind. The black one may shoal with the blue, but not out of choice.

Make two small groups of each, or one larger one of one species.

How big is your tank?
