I am planning my stocking list for my 20gal long and i have been pretty set on the idea of getting 6-8 rummy nose tetra as the small shoaling fish.
However i am aware that they get quite long and as the tank is pretty small itself i think they won't look that small in the tank. The tank is 36" long.
Cardinal tetra's are very striking and eye catching they are also smaller and i'd like your opinions if you think that the cardinals will be more effective. A shoal of smaller fish will make the tank look bigger and better i think, but do cardinal's shoal that well? I have black neons which don't and i've read other posts saying that there supposed shoaler's aren't doing what there supposed to.
The other fish/inverts in the tank will at the moment be: 2 Bolivian rams, 4-6 Panda Cory's and 2 Bamboo shrimp. The tank will also be heavily planted.
TIA
