Well got my neons today..6 but down to 5...I noticed one wouldn't school so I knew he was probably not in the best condition..Kept getting stuck on my filter. I also got 2 bunches of plants they labeled as temple tropical sun which are beautiful!
I am so happy with my lil neons..I think what made this work is the plants..I bunched them on one side of the tank so they could hide but instead my betta claimed the planted area and allows the neons to be in the opened waters. It's working out very well.
