Definitely not a convict cichlid, that's just going to end up with dead neons in the end.

You could try a GBR. It all depends on how big the tank is and how many neons you have.

I would go for a kribesnis instead of a GBR (German blue ram) just because kribs are less sensitive to water quality. There are plenty of other options as well.. what kind of fish are you looking for? (schooling, bottom dweller, etc)

Just a center fish.

then I would suggest any dwarf cichlid. You could also just keep one dwarf gourami, they won't be aggressive as long as you don't have two males together in that small of a tank.

What are some dwarf cichlids?

 

[Morgie]

The most common are:
apistos (tons of different colors/species)
kribs
rams (bolivian, german blue, etc)

here's a great website with information and pictures -> Apistogramma and Dwarf Cichlids in Aquarium

Dwarf butterfly cichlid as well. No one ever mentions this one...

i think bolivians are pretty easy to keep and will do well with neon tetras
