llmgtab Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I have a 20G long tank that currently houses 6 albino neon tetra, 5 pygmy cory's, a betta and a mystery snail. I believe I have room for few more fish, and wanted to add 3 more of the tetra's to have a larger school. But I did not realize when I got them its an unusual stock for my LFS's. Would 3 regular neon tetra's be close enough to be able to add? I don't think I have room for another school of a different type. If not I may just add more of the cory's,!

Guppysnail Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I don’t know about the tetras but with Cory they are very social. The more the merrier. Mystery snails are also social. They become more active and when they have company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that 'green' neon tetras and 'black' neon tetras are separate species altogether not just variations so won't mix the same (not that they can't be kept together as far as I'm aware, they just probably wouldn't school etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llmgtab Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks everyone for all the responses! I had no idea mystery snails were social. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
