Schooling

[bren2820]

Is it ok to mix Lemon Tetras with Neon Tetras? And also will they both school with eachother?

I dont see why they aren't good to mix. Are the lemons about the same size as neons, and are they aggressive?

If the answers were yes, then no, they're fine together...

As for schooling...

At first when they are new to the tank, they will use shoaling as a "comforting" method, and will most likely stick with its own kind. After a few days/weeks, they should become comfy with the new home and each other and the shoals will break up and they will intermingle with one another...

Sometimes fish even school with fish of other species too... so I think it's possible.

 

[mlee0332]

yes it is possible but if given the choice, they will stick with their types...

Eh, my serpae tetras school with my tiger barbs, kinda weird seeing how they dont really have any of the same visual cues or color patterns.
