Pretty much all fish can go with neons, neons are peaceful fish by nature and often cause no problems with other fish, however its other fish that neons usually have to be wary of. Angel fish eat neon tetras and your other tank is just too agressive for neon tetras.

I've got corys, danios and a betta with my neons. Some may say not good but they all get along. Only problem I had was getting food to the neons past the others. Solved that with Tetramin granuals. Hope this helps.

Neons can eat fry, but the fry have to be really tiny- a neon tetra could kill a newborn guppy fry, but one a month or 2 older should be fine. I don't know about krib fry though.

Chips?

Neons go with any smallish peaceful fish. Anything that will eat fish, however, will eat neons and smile, as it were. Other Tetras, Corys, Rainbows, Rasborae, Smaller Gouramis, otos, smaller plecos, probably be fine with kribs, but not when breeding, ditto other dwarf cichilds. While Neons would go with livebeares on the basis of temperment, neons prefer soft, acid water while livebearers pretty uniformly prefer hard alkaline water. You could keep them together if you had a good reason at about pH 7, 15-20 dGH, but they wouldn't be as happy or healthy as possible.
