cherry barbs wont get along with those guys, to aggressive. sorry i don't know what size your tank is (i don't know how to read dimensions)

for guppies and neons temperature should be around the low 80/high 70's. I think there is a heater from tetra-fin that keeps those temps permanent. and if you can, tell us the gallons

sorry about the dimensions but it was height 38cm, width 32cm and depth 32cm also do neon tetras get along with guppies or do cherry barbs get on with neon tetras. and please could you give me those tempatures in degrees in centigrade. also someone on here told me that i should get about 5 guppies or a group of cherry barbs i.e. 3 females and 1 male would either of these work in my tank and do they look pretty swimming also do you have any experience keeping them if yes are there any common problems i will have to address before i can get them for my tank.

My cherry barbs got on fine with my tetras, they use to swim around all the time together.

UPDATE In fact I had x1 neon x5 cherry barbs, there was no problems, I then bought x6 neons and still no problems, I would got for it.

I have the same size tank as you, my LFS recommended at least x5 cherry barbs, and I would recommend about the same neons, you then have space for guppies. Check out this site to get an idea on how many fish you can have http/www.aqadvisor.com/

i am not saying your wrong but i was told that guppies and cherry barbs and that i probably won't be able to keep that many fish because my tank is quite small

I just saw it written that cherry barbs were ok for a 5 gallon tank.

He's saying that's how big your tank is.


What kind of filtration are you going to have?

well i think my tank comes with some undergravel filter. im not sure if im going to need any more filteration for my tank

 

[hihi100202]

Under gravel filters are good, but a bit more work to clean the alage. If you want barbs take out the guppies totally. Barbs are fin nippers and guppy got beautiful fins which shouldn't be touched. And make sure to cycle your tank for about 2 weeks

Didn't even think to ask that, have you cycled the tank yet? Also, tetras, especially neons, should have a more mature tank, they often don't do so well in a newly cycled tank. Froms the sounds of it you may be a beginner, and honestly I don't know if I'd recommend an undergravel filter for you.

From what I read on cherry barbs you should try to have at least 1m/2f setup. Not sure on the temp, try looking them up in the fish index or google. You might have a hard time stocking everything you want with a smaller tank like this.
