That's kind of up to you. I have black neons and I personally think they are some of the best tetras out there. They would also provide a different color in your tank different than the regular neons.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

Well it depends on how many guppies you have, cause you can easily overstock a 30. But i would go for cardinals cause i like the way neons and cardinals look diff but the same. I like the contrast where they look similar but not the exact same.

I'd probably go for the black neons. They are beautiful little tetras and I think the contrast with the neons would be greater and look cooler. But it all depends on what you like ....

Thanks everyone, i have to wait a while to get some more tetras though cuz my guppies had a batch and they need room to grow. ugh...lol i think i might choose black neons cuz they arent tight schoolers and give eachother their own space,,,also i have heard of success breeding! yay! lol

thanks!

black neons because they will contrast with the regular neons

or you could just make your regular neon school huge that would be really cool, too.
