Dwarf Neon Rainbow

[joecoral]

What sort of numbers for a decent sized shoal could i keep in a 180L tank, which already has 15 harlequins, 7 cory's and 6 otocinclus? i'm also planning on adding a few dwarf cichlids (rams and/or apisto) and some gourami at a later date? I was thinking 12 might be a decent sized shoal for the rainbows?

Dwarf neons are lovely fish. I have 3 and they look great, so a shoal of 12 will look stunning

Just a point to remember, when getting the fish try and get more females with the more yellowy fins/tail, to males who have the redder fins and tails

You may find them too much for the likes of gourami as tank mates as they are very voracious eaters and always beat my cardinals and neons to most of the food in the tank. Watching them eat is like watching a feeding frenzy
