![]() | What's best for my orphan neon? |

I know this is not true, as you can, but he wanted them to be safe, so he handed them to me to adopt. He was quite careless with his fish, actually, and so he only had 3 albino black widow tetras, 1 angelfish, 2 platies and 1 neon tetra. I know that these fish need more, but our tank is very very full as it is. The only problem is my Neon Tetra. We feared that it would be in danger alone, so we put it in our 5 gallon with our 7 baby betta fry (they're purple ![]() Jaylene_Grasshopper |

You were right to be concerned with this lone neon, I bet it's really stressed right now. Since tetras add very little to a tank's bioload, I would go ahead and get four or five more neons, and have a small school. That will go a long way in relieving the poor tetra's stress. |
