Emperors are lovely, but would need to replace the neons or harleys, not be in addition to them.
I know that Seriously Fish recommends 60 cm as the smallest tank length for emperor tetras but I had some several years ago in a 107 cm (42 inch) tank, and watching their behaviour in there I would not keep them in a smaller tank. Mine were hyperactive, and after a few weeks I realised they were upsetting the quieter residents so I exchanged them for pencilfish.
So I could have Black Neons and Emperors together or Rasboras and Emperors together?
Hi there. Here's the chest of drawers the tank is going on. My bedroom is part of an extension to the house and up a spiral staircase so there are sloping ceilings on each side. I can still get a good size tank though. Enough for my needs anyway. I've decided I would like black neon tetras (8-10?), harlequin rasboras (8-10) and 4-6 salt and pepper corys. I also like Emperor Tetras which is a possibility too. Would this be OK?
