Neon Tetras

[Falconwithaboxon]

So I plan on getting a 125-150 gallon tank and I will want to get bigger fish then I currently have to go in there. That issue with that is I have a school of neon tetras, 10 of them, and bigger fish might eat them. I currently have a 29 gallon tank that I plan on keeping for them. So my question is, how many of them could I fit in a 29 gallon tank if they are the only fish there? I would have some invertebrates too, like shrimp and snails.

I’d say about 20 you could keep in. 29g hate stocking especially with schooling fish just hard to say

I'd put between 17-22 of them. They are tiny fish, and they enjoy larger numbers. A 29 gallon would be plenty of room for them.

Yes, a 29g is the perfect size for neon tetras. If i wasn’t moving soon, I would have about 20 in mine.

I think about 20 would be just right.
