Lone Neon Tetra

[eenumbers]

Hello all you clever fishy people, my first post on here

I've recently had a nasty outbreak of Neon Tetra Disease and I've lost five Neon Tetras (i annoyingly can't afford a hospital tank)

But I've got one little guy left and I'm not sure what to do.. he seems to be healthy (touch wood..) but I know that they are shoaling fish so I reckon he'll be feeling a bit lonely.. I don't really want to buy any more neons as I think I'm going to move away from them now.

The other fish in the tank are 5 male Guppies and 2 Harlequin Rasboras.

Hope you can help

The harlequins are probably pretty lonely too.

Maybe if you ask in the classifieds section someone might take him from you, or you could return it to a shop. It's not really fair to keep it on its own forever so rehoming is probably the best option.

Thanks

It's a 90 litre tank, not sure how many gallons that is though!

Have you thought about some cardinal tetras? They are more hardy than neons and look very similar but the colours are more striking. I had some old neons which shoaled quite happily alongside the cardinals.
