Keyhole Tank Mates

[schooly20]

Im planning on setting up a29 gal tank with a pair of keyholes and was wondering what some good tank mates might be? I was thinking a school or neon or cardinal tetra?

I had a pair of keyholes in a community tank until recently, i thought they were the most placid of the cichlids until they spawn!!!!!!

They are now in a tank on there tod lol

for a 29us gallon i would be inclined to go with 1 pair keyholes, Corydoras catfish + 4 and poss 5-6 colombian tetras

I would for sure go with a taller bodied tetra. Neons have a way of becoming lunch for a lot of fish. In my experience Keyholes are generally model citizens in a tank, but sometimes a bit shy.

I keep mine with Pristella Tetras and they don't bother each other at all.
They are fairly placid but can become a little territorial when breeding so provide plenty of hiding places.
Neon or Cardinal Tetras will be fine and as Nelly suggested, a small group of Corydoras would look good too.
