They're quite common so you could call a local fish shop and see if they have them in stock.
Do best in groups of 3+

PS. Did your plants arrive?

if you go to crews hill (near enfield) you'll 100% find them.

wildwoods, aquatic warehouse, maidenhead aquatics and home marine all sell them so one will definatly have them in stock and there within 200yds of each other. well worth a visit if you've not been there before, all are top notch stores.

yep loads, it's a main road wildwoods first (own car park for 50 cars or so plus overflow car park) then home marine which is behind springtime (or simmillar name) garden centre - big car park. next is maidenhead aquatics inside wyvale garden centre and then aquatic warehouse which has a small car park. get over there honestly it's well worth a visit. wildwoods is always in PFK in the interesting imports section. they have a massive selection of rare fish. there's also waterworld near the A10 junction but er... skip that one unless your after rocks.

what kind of neons are you planning on getting?

neon tetras do better in mature tanks over 3 months old.

nope but there on the same road. come out of wildwoods carpark and turn right. up the hill, round sharp left hand bend. first is home marine. turn into the garden centre after the pub on the left and it's behind it, in the same car park just drive to the back of it. aquatic warehouse is further along the same road. about 200yds past wyevale, gravel drive on the right with a big crappy "FISH ->" sign
