Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have a 36 gallon bow front aquarium. I am putting plants in it soon.my question is how many neon tetras can I put in my tank along with three otos?
arcticfirefighter said:At a minimum you need 6, but your tank can handle 25+ I have had up to 20 in my 29 Gal. They are small and have a very light bioload. The more the merrier in my opinion as long as you don't go crazy and try and put 100 in there. But there are people on here who have schools of 100+ Neons in their aquariums of diffrent sizes.
Depending on:
- How heavy you are going to plant it
- How long it has been up and running (cycled)

Scouser said:35 would be too many I think.
Feeding em would be a task too, my little buggers swarm food so I have to feed in 2 spots to make sure everyone gets some chow.
Nu-Nu the eel said:I would go 20 with a centerpeice fish and the 3 ottos. Get a small centerpiece like a dwarf gourmi to keep the neons schooling. When i have bigger fish in my tanks my tetras school all te time
