How Do You Care for Neon Tetras
I am wanting to eastablish an aquarium of neon tetras. I have limited space in which to place a tank. I already have three bettas in different 1 gallon bowls and I have a large indoor garden. My landlord is opposed to me obtaining a large tank. I am also a college student and I have extremely limited funds. What is the smallest tank you can keep neon tetras in? What are the minimum requirements for temperature, food, filtering, size, how many, about any infomation. I would love to raise a few of these fish but I don't want to but any if I will be unable to properly care for them. Are they compatiable with betta fish? Also where is a good place to buy healthy neon tetras? If someone could give me the complete run-down on how to set up the tank, the smallest I could use per number of fish (ex: 1 fish per x gallons), food, water changes, and water conditions that would be great. Any and all infomation is important to me in my research to decide about purchasing these fish.
