Question
Hi, I have 2 ghost shrimp in a cube tank and I was wanting to get some neon tetras and/or glowlight tetras two accompany them... Would it be alright if I get 2 neon and 2 glowlight??? And will they group together since they are grouping fish???...thanks

Answer
Benn,

Not knowing how many gallons the tank is makes it difficult to say yes or no. Tetra's are schooling fish and should be adding in groups of 6 and also in no tank smaller than 20 gallons. The glo should be housed with at least 4 as they too are schooling fish. If the tank is large enough you should not have any problems.
