hi all I'm currently feed my 10 little neon once daily with flake and some times blood warm. Like at afternoon when where the fish is very hungry. Some other dude tell me I should feed them twice aday any advice. My tank(20g) is now loaded with live plants so I could feed them meat product with out worry about the waste produce amonia.

Twice daily is fine. If your tank has cycled, you really won't have to worry about ammonia.

Twice a day is fine, but make sure you don't overfeed. Just feed them as much as they can eat.

They'll only really school if scared into schooling. I've seen tanks with 50+ neons in it that just wander around minding their own business till startled by say...oh a wandering redtail catfish that could eat me whole ....I'd school in cases like that too .

If they are scared they will school, if they are not scared, they just swim where they like. Do you have other fish with them?.

But strange things was that altho my other 6 guppy and 2 swordtails die from ich all 10 of my neon have no sign of the same disease even tho they r in the same tank. I wonder why? Not like I wish my fish were sick(just want to know ).
