Neon fish love a large number of hanging roots, living plants, stones, snags and other shelters. They often float in the water column.

Therefore, it is so important to study which fish get along with neons. In addition, it must be borne in mind that fish like to live in flocks, so it is not recommended to settle many different individuals in one aquarium.
Neighbors for neons
Choose peaceful neighbors for neon fish. They get along well with bottom fish, for example, with catfish. They do not interfere with each other in the aquarium, each living in a personal space. Such a neighborhood will also be useful - neons usually eat food in the water column, without picking up the fallen one. Therefore, individuals are needed that live at the bottom, then the food will not pollute the water. For these purposes, a panda corridor is also suitable. Neons also get along with zebrafish, guppies, minors.
