[electropunk06]

hi
i have a 60L divided tank betta in one side (20L ish) and a dwarf gourami in the other but i would like to give the gourami some friends, would glolights be a good option (if not what would be?) and how many?
thanks

6 Glowlights would be fine in there, as might some Neon Tetras

ok thanks could i streatch to 8 maby? my danois needed more than 6 to be happy so like to keep larger shoals. i was thinking about neons but they seam very popular and i want somthing abit diferent. my LFS has cardinal raspora which look quite nice and small would they be an option?
Thanks

I think you may be overstocking adding 8. These tetra don't really shoal in aquariums, so more of them won't really make a difference.
Could you tell me what 'cadrinal raspora' are please never heard of them

i was at my LFS today and they had cardinal rasbora there. i hadnt heard of them either but never lkooked at rasboras that much. they were the same coulourings as cardinal tetra, i dindt look at them to long.

I think 8 Would be fine aslong as you have good filtration.

I disagree i had 6 and there one of the tightest shoaling fish ive kept the whole group was never further than 6" apart.

neons

When I got my neons, they never left eachothers side. Omce they settled, they went their own separate ways
