School of neon tetras with SAP?

[360º]

has anyone tried this?

i have a 30 gallon with:

2 SAP (one died last night and LFS has no more)
and i put in 4 oto's today to clean out all the algae that i have

just wondering if it would be ok to put about 8 neon tetras in there, just to add some colour

why not try to find another SAP to keep the other 2 happy. They may get stressed not bein in a big enough group

edit: didnt fully read lol, look on aquabid. or around the internet you may find some

i will get one or 2 more when i find them

but would it be ok to have neon tetras in there too?

Im not sure, but seein how they are fast and in a large group they may be ok. Plus as we all know every puffer is different. You can try it out, but have a back up plan if the neons start getting picked off

I would also watch to make sure the neons don't stress the SAP's.

Neons are small and fast, they may very well stress out your SAPs more. Personally, I wouldn't try it. Those fish are naturally stressed enough. Plus, I think your tank is fully stocked already (though I hope you can find another SAP).

I thought with the eractic movements of saps that neons wouldnt bother em

If you feel that your tank looks empty and want to add some fish to your SAP's I would try Silver Hatchet Fish

I got them and they are cool fish
