I have set-up from last 5 months 8 Gallon fresh water tank with some plants and 9 Neon Tetra fish. I am trying to add some ghost shrimp or cherry shrimp whichever available. Now I was looking for some centre piece of fish keeping above fishes.
Kindly advice me also that should I add shrimp and another centre piece fish after having 9 Neon Tetra
The only size fish I can recommend for that size tank is a male betta or 4 female bettas but your tank may be too small for the females to really thrive. If you go ahead with adding the male to your tank then I wouldnt recommend adding the shrimp as I have heard people having trouble with the betta eating them but it also depends on the fish itself and you =)
I agree, neons and bettas are probably not a good combo. Plus bettas love shrimp. (just ask aunt kymmie!)
Sparkling Gouramis would be a good idea actually.
Whats your ph? Neons like acidic water, but if your water is basic and moderately hard, you could definately try a few male guppies.
BTW, I'm selling red cherry shrimp in the classifieds forum if you can't find them in your area.
Another idea for centerpiece fish- what about a school of pygmy cories? Now what you had in mind, I know, but they're cute and full of antics.
I would offer suggestions if you started your own thread.
Kind of rude to hijack someone elses topic.
