How about a few more neons (they like to be in groups of 6-8 I've found), a small pleco, and maybe a corydora?
Put some more plants in, make some hiding spaces etc

Other than give it to me ....Yes fill out your schools...not only the neons but also the corys. I'd suggest looking into a sand substrate, yes it does require seperate maintence routine....but they corys will love you for it .

cheers for replies.

what if i add 2-4 more neons, 2-4 more cories. could i have either a couple blue rams or/and a small pl*co such as clown?

which pl*cos start small other than the clown??

have a look at my other thread, i've added more plants to my 45g. What do you think?
redoing 45g

ps. just been told by girlfriend, she would rather guppies then a pl*co, how many could i get? 1 male 2x female?

the tank is now fully aquascaped, i'll post picture as soon as i get my camera back.

i've gone for bogwood instead of rocks in this one, got java ferns, grasses and horwort so far., will gravel substrate.

the 10gallon fish have moved in, i've put the 10g filter and gravel in the new tank.

just wondering what combination of the fish i want.
2-4 neons
couple corys
some guppies and 2 blue rams/ european rams what ever they are called.

i can have, should i drop idea of more cories if having rams, or will be ok?
should i give guppies a miss?

really want rams!!!! they are brill

how best way thell male and feamle rams, is it just males more colourful?
