just a quick question but i know the tetras swim in shoals but how many would you guys say for them to look good?
i have always loved the colours i think they look awesome and being small i was thinking maybe 40 of them would be cool?

Are you still going for angels?
I ask as I would have gone for cardinals rather than neons for the temperature compatibility and they're a bit bigger.....
