Or, you might be able to have an angelfish, but that depends on whether you have any neon tetra-like fish, as they are the prey of angelfish. |

That would work probably as long as the Keyhols don`t gt hungry, mine did fine with a guppy for a few months but I ran out of food for a week and a half and one day the guppy was ate but that was after a week. They was fine before the Keyholes got hungry |
