	Glowlights with regular neons?
ozziegt Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Mar-2005	Will they school together? Will 3 glowlights be happy with 4 regular neons? Or should I just get 3 more regular neons? A total of 7 or 8 is the max I can go. Thanks!

The LFS is saying I can go with as much as 8 but I am not sure I am comfortable with that...we'll see. The 4 I have in there now seem pretty happy. I'm looking for more personal experiences than what makes sense. Because I've heard of black neons schooling with regular neons and they aren't even the same species. Glowlights probably aren't either now that I think about it...

Black neons might school with regular neons, but they're quite different fish. Same goes for glowlights. shrugs Fish are much more entertaining when they're comfortable with their environment... and that includes having a proper school. I'd highly suggest sticking to just neons. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~
