cols Hobbyist Posts: 129 Kudos: 91 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-May-2004	Hi, Ive always wanted to hae a tnak with say 20-30 neons in it. I have a 125 litre going spare soon so think i migth attempt it. What i would like to know is what plants, conditions, other fish could be kept in there to make it as natural as possible for the neons. Does anybody have any useful links for me? I buy all my plants from http://www.java-plants.com/ if somebody could advise me on what plants to buy etc that would be amazing Thanks alot. cols
