Hey guys...

I just want to know how many neons can be stored in a 25ish litre tank.. Its a bare tank and wanted to put a type of schooling fish in there... Any suggestions?

Thanks guys! :)
 
4-5maybe some othere tetra like glass or skirt tetras
 
That tank is only about 6.5 gallon so you will be very limited. About 5 or 6 would be fully stocked. If you have good filtration, you could maybe have a couple more.
 
well i have a hang on the back filter which does about 400 litres an hour... and yeah i was thinking about 5...
 
While overfiltering is generally recommended, 400L per hour in a 25L tank may be too strong for the fish. As a general rule, 5X the tank volume is considered the minimum and 7 to 10 is good and allows for some overstocking. You are at 16X the tank volume so the flow and current may be too strong for the neons.
 
no i've made it so that the flow is less... by adding more filter media to slow down the process and by adding plants infront of the flow to break it up.
 
Get Cardinals much nicer but a little more expensive
 
in my 10 gal i have 10 neons and 10 hengel's rasboras. its very nice to look at together.

maybe u might wanna try the same thing except with like half, maybe 5 of each.
