Just sent my 8 black window to the LFS as they were always pecking at each other can it got really bad so not looking for a calmer fish, was thinking of a school of red neon tetra? will these be ok with Gourami's and what are these like to keep? as I was told very hard if your water is not spot on? any other's will be kindly noted

Anyone else please with any ideas

Something like harlequin rasboras would be good. Maybe 10?

Neon's can be a little fragile and less forgiving to unstable water condtions. But providing the tank is fully cycled, Ammonia and Nitrite are at 0 always, they are kept at a stable temperature and pH (slightly acidic is best) and they are fed on a mixture of quality flake and frozen foods they will do very well. Harlequins would be a good choice, or possibly Rummy Nose Tetra's.

Thank you thought know one know about these fish way it was going, but found a good forum that had lots of information about Honey's and now tank set up nicely with honeys, neon's, black phantoms, harlequins and bronze corry's and all well up to now
