Would like to buy an aquarium to hold some cardinal tetras (or maybe Neon Tetras). My experience in keeping an aquarium is non existent almost (used to have a pond with koi).
So far i did not buy anything yet and am just reading and collecting as much info as I can.
Idea would be to get a Jewel Lido 120 (120L), live plants, driftwood and some rocks and populate it with:
- max 10 cardinal Tetras (or max 20 neon tetras)
- max 3 red cherry shrimp
(Also looked at ottocinclus affinis)
Wonder though what combination would be the best (prefer the cardinals and shrimp), but wonder if the neon would be a better option (keeping them but also what combination woulb be more pleasing to look at).
Also could use some advice what stuff i also should need to buy if i start this kind of setup (lightning, filters,...if standard ones are not good).
Ps would be placed in my bedroom so should be fairly quiet pump
Already a big thank you for all the advice!
