We set up a 40 tall neon tetra species tank as a suprise for my daughter for christmas. (Let me tell you how much fun it is to cycle a tank secretly in your basement then tear it down and move it upstairs in the middle of the night)
How do neons do in tall tanks? Would the width be able to support a larger school of 20 fish or do they like to spread out? Also, what is the ideal water flow? I have a fluval 404 canister with a fan head at the surface, and it produces quite a bit of current in the tank. The fish have found some calm water and I have turned the flow rate down, but would a spray bar or some other setup be friendlier?
