Hi everyone!
Basically, I have just got hold of a 6 gallon tank off a friend of mine and it is currently cycling so am thinking of what fish I want to get for it.. My friend had a four barbs and a rainbow shark in it. Obviously he learnt very quickly that it wasn't a good idea to have a rainbow shark in that small a tank as it would eventually grow too big and agressive for it. Thats why he has upgraded to a much bigger tank.
I really want some neon tetras and have read that you shouldn't really go less than six of them. If i got six of them would I then be unable to get any other fish in the tank aswell? I do know a little bit about tanks and maintaining them having had one before but my knowledge in how many of types of fish should be in a tank and what are good and bad combinations is lacking..
Thanks,
FishyFreddy
