1. Other tetras
2. Dwarf neon rainbowfish
3. Harlequin rasboras

Thank you! I was waiting for someone reliable to address this topic
I used to have a 12 gallons tank, thanks for the tips given. Going to get myself some corydoras to the tank. Thanks for sharing your experience & bravo to you.
Schooling Corydoras are so cute together 😃
Thank you for all the helpful videos you make, you teach me a lot about fish, I'm setting up a 29 gallon neon tetra tank
I have a 29 gallon (Neon Tetra) primary tank with some Cory's and a few Nerite snails. I have been thinking of other mates to compliment the tetra's and you have given some great ideas. Keep up the good work!
You'll regret the snails 😅
This helped a lot, I’m getting neon tetras on Monday :)
Dude! So nice to rewiev... you come quite a way to where you're at today! keep leiving the dream, proud of you
following his last low volume video, just letting his playlist run and then HEY! lmao i'm awake
Hahahahahah, the ones I have recorded on iPhone always have really low volume! 😂
Love your videos. Learned a lot.
I have a fully planted 10 gal tank with Neon Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, and three Pasnda cory cats. It's the most peaceful and great looking looking combo you would ever want in a smaller tank.
Thanks mate, finally a video about tetras!
True! I made a video about neon tetra tank mates as well. KeepingFishSimple definitely inspired me though. 😄
This video is kinda perfect for me, I’ve had several kinds of fish before and out of all the ones I’ve had my neon tetras always survived the longest, so lately I’ve been getting other types of tetras to be with them. So far I’ve been sticking with tetras, I have a couple skirt tetras, and along skirt tetras. Recently I got a baby long skirt tetra from pet smart and it’s so much fun to watch him lol
Goldlight tetra have been absolutely rock solid in my tank, highly recommended
Thank you for the recommendation im getting neon tetras pretty soon, I'm your first sub
I've bread some half red half blue neocarodina shrimp to compliment my neons. Everyone loves how they match ❤💙 also have some snails and guppies. I like how the guppies stay towards the top half and neons towards the bottom half with the shrimp on substrate level. Gives cool layers of interest.
Yassssss, this is a great vid
Thank you Justin!!!!
Good one. 2022 and you've come a long way. Congratulations 🎊 👏
Mate ur an inspiration started making videos and will continue to post. Love ur work....
Glad to hear it!
Looking to start my first aquarium, fell in love with Tetras at a pet store so 100% going to start with them! Would love to maybe add cherry shrimp to the setup.
I just bought my first tropical tank.
Im currently running it for a week and the pet shop will test my water for free when I slowly stock it
I have a red ear turtle and map turtle with a tetra. Tetra came with the 75g tank I bought off of someone. All I can say is that the Tetra is one hell of a survivor, the turtles doesn't even bother to chase it anymore since it's so fast. Surprisingly it sometimes even goes near the turtles without fear. Currently in the process of adding 5 more so it can school with it's kind.
Well I just saw this in my recommendation. was gonna get two things from this list with my tetras.
Coreygang approves this video!
Hhahaha
🎶Coreygangcoreygangcorygang coreygang- spend my money on a new tank🎵
Hi KFS, another great informative video. Other fish I've had with neon tetra are betta fish, dwarf honey gourami, german blue rams, bolivan rams and apistogramma varieties of fish. All of these are soft water fish and so are all environmentally compatible with each other. Just some suggestions, I know these combinations work as I've had them in my community tank.
In my four foot ive got like 2 dozen neons with a pair of apistos, over half a dozen albino corys, and a few albino bristlenose. And all the fish have successfully community bred in there besides the apistos and neons :)
You look very cute with this film lighting. (Also, thanks for the info)
Ye man I've gone tetra mad the last year or two, mixed it up with Cory's, some dwarf gouramis, platys, swordtails & believe it or not 2 redtail sharks ha ha, they get on ( like an old married couple), but ye for me tetras are just lovely, peaceful & lowish maintenance 👌
I’ve been able to keep neon tetras with gold mollies and 1 rainbow shark with no problems which is really cool but I do want to add more fish so this has been helpful
How are your fish doing now? I’ve always wanted to add the rainbow shark but I am too scared to. How many tetras do you have?
My neon tetras get along with many other fish, but in my tank , their best friends are the guppies. They form a small school while my trio of guppies make an excellent show with their fins. The 2 often compete in foods so i make sure they all get their fair share. My pygmy corys sometimes join them too but they would normally stay away from all the commotions.
Great video, I really like your choices for neon tank mates.
My glow light and neons school together I also have loaches and Cory cats and a beta they all get along great
You should do one on the Red eye tetras 👀 and continue with these videos. It’s nice change and good information.
Thx for the info
No problem!
Great Video! 👍
Thanks! 👍
Good information
Your a great guy subbed!! I have nothing against any of these choices I have a massive 250 gallon south American biotope not all the species I have are necessarily from the Amazon but here's a list of the things I have I don't recommend any of these with your neons if your a beginner. TO have this you need to have a massive aquarium with many different territories and surrounding for different fish and different breeding pairs anyways.
The list:
Neon tetras
Rummynose tetras
Hariquin rasboras
Guppies
Discus
A breeding pairs of brislenoses
A breeding pair of apistogroamas
A breeding pair of rams
Pigmy corys
Black Venezuelan corys
Cherry shrimp
A clown pleco
And I think that's it just some ideas!
Hey man love the vids I recently got 8 black skirts for my big 66 gal community tank, so now is home to 9 kuhlis, 28 green neons and a bristlenose. Been watching your vids to create the perfect community and I think I’ve finally done it. Keep up the good work!
Do the skirts chase neons? My white skirts did
@@PULAG no they actually didn't unfortunately a lot of my neons ended up dying off but the bunch of black skirts I still have (4) are relatively shy and only chase each other occasionally
@@finb9073 ah.. I added 9 neon and soon as they hit the water the 3 white skirts and 2 tiger barbs were chasing them relentlessly lol
@@PULAG could be because they were added after the skirts - mine were added after my neons so could be because they hadn't had a territory yet
@@finb9073 possibly. Thought all my plants and wood pieces would've protected them enough.. ah well this turned me off of neons though. Prob won't ever have them again.
I keep amano shrimp w my neons and thats a great fit.
Good video. A comment from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👍
Thanks! 😃
thank for the video.. instead on Neons, i just bought cardinals. does the same go for the cardinals.. and also can i keep shrimps with them, and all the other fish you mentioned here
corydoras are good boys and im here to advocate for them
this was really helpful. my betta died and now his tank mates (neon tetra and snail) are all alone so this was so helpful
Awwww man That’s so sad I dread the day when my betta fish will die
I want to start breeding but I only have a single tank so idk where I would keep all the betta fish kids
I have mine in with Firemouth cichlids. No problems.
Love your stuff kiddo 🇦🇺👌
Hope you add more fish to shop,, needing some angels soon ;)
Just waiting for them to grow a little more
@@KeepingFishSimple saw all the little babies yours had ,, WOW soooo many :)
..
Eyeing of your endlers atm 👍
I have a 130 litre tank and I keep albino black widows with my tetras and they work really well I'm planning on adding a dwarf gourami and some angle fish is this a good Idea
How do you change the ph in a aquarium and how do you know what the ph is
I have molly’s in my tank and they march pretty good
One my recommendation for fish tank - keep such fish who will share space in tank - like my Betta was king of the top of my aquarium and time after time he went swim to middle of tank but my tetras mostly was living in bottom or middle - so they had a lot of space from each other.
Actually I tell a lie. I came back to Los Angeles and was so happy to be home I stayed. I got a job selling pet supplies all over the the So. California area. Yet I still miss England from time to time.
Discus are another good tank mate
I’ve been watching for soooo long
I have a 40 gallon that will be primarly neon tetra but i wanted a few other fish in to be centerpiece fish..i thought angels but i heard that was bad once they are bigger. 1 pearl guarami was an option..another option was a few columbian tetras. What do you think would be a good choice?
Do cardinals and other similar looking tetras (green or black striped tetras) group to school/swim together (like they do with their own species)?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the ramshorn snails that was in all of the neon tetras videos :-D I have a mellow betta on his own black water tank they have the same parameters but I was doubting about my betta because he might act territorial when I try to house my tetras with him, also as for male bettas they might look chill and mellow when they are alone but as experience they are tend to unleash their fighting instinct when started to have them in a community tank.
hi simple i want to ask if guppies are tank mates of neon tetras?
can the dwarf gourami and glo danio good too
nice
Thanks
Hello i have a question please answer me this
I want to know which fishes are best mates for forktail blue eye fish
I cannot find this any where
Please answer about this thanks
I’m not so big on the fish soup tanks. That’s fish from all over the world in the one tank. I like more the bio type aquarium. Good tank mates for the neon tetra is as you said other South American tetras. Small South American cichlids. Corys. Bristle nose plecos.
I am thinking of getting some tetras and maybe 2 guppies and a corydora. However I went to a pet store yesterday and they didnt recommend corydoras with tetras.. the lady recommended i got snails or shrimp if i ever saw algae in the tank?
pretty good dam video
Hey Guy, you are so much talkative.
Im trying to find a new tankmate for my 4 swordtails, i only have 3 males and 1 female, what fish would be great tankmates for them?
We had some lamp eye (aka red eye) tetras and they were basically immortal
You young man, are such a joy to watch. And no, I'm not gay. Just letting you know that you doing a great job.
Thanks ☺🐟🐉🦐☯️🌿🏝
In my 200 l aquarium I had about 7x neon tetras, 7x rummy-nose tetras, 2x Corydoras ( I saw them rare because I had a lot of caves where they can hide and a lot of plants), 1x Bristlenose (but he died few days after he become my tank mate), 1x Blue color Betta fish (yeah - time after time Betta been trying to chase tetras but he was to slow so he did not harm anyone in my tank), and I had a lot of shrimps.
I really like the thumbnails, do you do them yourself?
He uses canva
I have a 5 gallon tank full of neocardinia shrimp (I have about 7), Batman nirites (3), Ishimaki thorn nerites (1), King Koopa nirites (3), rabbit snails (3), African dwarf frogs (2), marbled turtle freshwater limpets (1), and Mexican dwarf crayfish (1) and I just purchased two neon tetras to add to the tank since they were on sale for a $1.50 at my local PetSmart. I plan to add a couple chili rasbora to the tank at a later date, so far the neons are getting along with everyone else in the tank.
Neon tetras need to be in a group of 8 minimum
Are these ok for cardinal tetras
How many fish should I actually put in a 10 gallon ? I have 5 tetras and 3 corycatfish. Should I add more so they can school
What's best water temperature and pH for neons? I lost all my neons?
Can neons and red eye be put in the same tank?
well these neon tetras mate you suggest, cory will get eat cherry shrimp, harlequin rasboras is actually quite aggressive to other types
Oto cats are good I have a few with my neons
I have some neons in a ten gallon planted tank. I have a decently bright light, and as a result, they tend to hide when its on. What should I do to help them out? Add floating plants? What plants would have large and high leaves that would provide shade without blocking out the light from the other plants?
Neon tetras come from black water environments and therefore they prefer lower lighting settings and can get stressed in high light conditions such as those needed by a planted tank. If you are not already, try setting a timer so that lights will get dimmer or brighter in a day/night cycle. You can try a blackwater setup or dimmer lights, but if you want floating plants I suggest something like Amazon frogbit (what I use) or anything else similar to this. Duckweed and water spangles are some other common choices. Many of these plants grow very quickly as well so you may need to watch for that. You can also make a ring out of a floating material to prevent the plants from growing over the entire surface of the tank and blocking light or access for tank Maintenance. I hope this helps!
Should I keep molly with Neon Tetra?
Ya
Can I have cherry shrimp and corydoras both as tank mates to neon tetras? Also can I put a nerite snail in the tank too?
Danios also go well with them
I like the bristle nose pleco because of their smaller size. I've seen plecos that just dominate tanks.
You're so cool
Hey there!!
What about u r breeding project of neon tetras
What about bamboo shrimp they like little filters and they are beautiful
You said I don't have to get a blue shrimp but can I get a blue shrimp? Also do blue shrimp so well alone or does he need a friend or two?
Can i out glofish tetra with neon tetra?
Are cherry shrimps and corydoras can live in the same tank?
Yes! They will do very well together! I have a video on the best tank mama to keep with shrimp. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/1LEsXZDhyDM/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helped! 😉
I thought I left cyberpunk on and had to pause the video to see where the music was coming from. Thought I was heading into a fish store run by maelstrom
I'm kinda disappointed discus isn't part of the list! 😂😥
But those fishes on the list are really great.
Where do you get cherry shrimp that cheap
What about hemigrammus as a tank mate?
Is the cherry shrimp the only variety that’s good for tetras?
I have a 5 gallon fish tank with 15 neon tetras and 5 tiger barbs , how often do I have to change water ?
I'd recommend around a 15% water change twice every week or so. Especially if not planted / its a new tank.
I have tetras sharing a tank with a betta. I notice that the tetras are occasionally aggressive toward the betta. Is this normal?
It's a bad pairing, death is around the corner
My betta ate my neon tetras so I had to save the rest and separate them
If you're looking for other Tetris then the neon tetra. Green Congo is the best.
I have a 40 gallon with 3 black kuli loaches, 6 scissor tail raspora, 6 Harlequin Rasbora, 6 Neon tetra, 1 Golden Algea eater. Want to add 6 Cardinal Tetra and 6 Chili Raspora. Sound good? Too much? Looking for pro opinion. My water levels are all good, bout 7.2 ph, now using RO water, no more tap water. I ordered 2 Java Ferns, every other plant I have now is plastic.
Hi can you pls do a video of how to breed glow light tetras😁😁😁😁😁
Hey I want to know if can i put a 10 cherry shrimp with 1 pleco? Would the pleco be okay with that ?
Yes you'll be safe adding algea eaters with shrimps 😁💯
At 1:25, are those lemon tetras? I want some
the cuts make these video so unenjoyable
i kept a betta fish with 10 neon tetras in a 10 gallon, everything seems fine its been 1 year no fish is being aggressive. just add enough hiding spots to make sure.
How may corydoras should I keep in a 30 gallon (with neon tetras)
For a 30 gallon, I recommend keeping as much as 10.
