Well I went with mum and dad this afternoon to get my fish. I think they are just fantastic and it will be so nice to slowly add more

They are beautiful, Tori, and so tiny.... Are these fully grown or will they get bigger?I guess you will have to be careful adding more fish as to what size they should be, as they are known to eat each other which is not what you would want...

They are very nice. It will be very relaxing watching them. 😊

Neon Tetras. I’ve 2 tanks, a tiny one with a blue and white siamese fighter and 2 tiny bright green fish. The bigger one has albino corys, loaches and rummy nosed tetras, ember fish.

That's great Tori, starting with a few is the way to go. My son has really enjoyed setting up his aquarium and started the same way .I have enormous, elderly goldfish in mine. They're ten years old now!

We started with a few mollies, and they have been breeding for years now. Up to about 30 odd now. We look forward to a few dead ones but know there will be twice as many babies to carry on...

They are lovely Tori, you must be so pleased to get them. How many are there, I couldn't quite see from the photo - is it 15? Now you can spend time just gazing at them, all calming and entertaining too. What fun!

I see the neons are busily establishing their territory - you're going to have hours of entertainment watching them try to bully the other species and being firmly put in their place, lol!

Lovely fish. I used to have an aquarium many years ago. Could just sit and watch them for hours v. restful. I suppose a favourite was my cat fish who I named 'Felix Aquaticus'. Enjoy!😊

The tank looks great, Tori. I love the naturalistic log , rocks and plants which set of your fish beautifully. I spy scissortails, harlequins and neons. All great community fish and I've always found neons fascinating. I once, unwisely, bought a shoal of 24 neons. They disappeared at a rate of 1-2 a night as they were eaten by Badger, my catfish. Sadly no more Neons for me, (or Badger). Enjoy your new hobby.
