Get a few Angels! They would like that tall tank.

Not sure if they go too good with neons though? But you could get some harquline Rasboras though...

Yea i was thinking of some Rasboras, angels with terminate neons.

Isaw it and thought angels too, but it might also look nioce as a community tank.

 

[Sunny.C]

What do you mean ethos?

 

[bluefire]

in a planted tank you need fish that will stand out against the green so things like livebearers (especially oranges and reds) neons (big schools) gouramis and things like that.

How many would you consider a big school for my tank???(34g)

 

[-*-MicHAeL-*-]

you could have 10 neons if you wanted , i dont think 6 would be enough.

i would get a pair of gouramis as well and then some cories for the bottom or a BN plec

 

[Sunny.C]

Do neons need big schools to survive?? why is it that i need a big number of them?

 

[abstract]

i would not get neons...neons need a mature, established tank or will most likely die....is the tank cycled?

 

[Sunny.C]

It is fully cycled, i have a cycled filter in there. it's been running for months.

neons need to be in a school of at least 6, but more is always better.
