@Stephen Just be aware they can get spooked by larger fishes movements and like to have cover to hid within, dense roots or flora.
A larger group would be better making them safer with larger numbers, stunning little fish.
So where's the pictures?!

It appears that I have an incurable case of 'neon tetra disease'.
I have noticed some white spots (not ich) on the anal fins and discolouration on the back end of some of the neon tetra, a few have passed on.
I have even lost a couple of the new pencilfish which may be a unrelated issue.
There's nothing I can do as it is one of those incurable diseases.
So my thinking is to get a different tetra which fits in with the theme, even if it means changing the theme to a nearby river.
I'm hoping to catch the Gold lasers sometime next week and select a mix of male & female for the 120L breeding aquarium.
I'm still looking for some Corydoras virginiae but that may change if i made a small change to the theme.
All good fun.. or not.

Sorry for your losses Stephen
Also a real shame if it is NTD
To the tune of “the saints go marching in”:
Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful, they’re white Welsh and fluffy! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful!

Neon Tetras are like Guppies these days, they don't seem to be as strong as they were twenty years ago, maybe it's something to do with being captive bred.
WARNING- DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE!

Thats the reason I haven't rehomed my neons. They have NTD and no matter what you do, it doens't heal/go away. Still have 5 of them with it but hasn't gotten worse or ( as expected ) none of the other fish have it.
I suspect the NTD is due to the cheaper imports from Asia and poor quality fish.
I first noticed something was not quite right a few months ago with the odd Neon tetra.

A simple to use calculator for working out how much to dose of a certain product, based on your aquarium water volume and the requirements of your product.
There are two major causes of fish deaths in an aquarium; new tank syndrome and over feeding.
If you take the time to read this you will hopefully not have to deal with new tank syndrome and you will create a healthy environment for your fish.
Cycling a fish tank can be confusing to beginners and experienced fishkeepers alike. If you’ve already read about it you’ll probably still be confused, because most cycling guides don’t really explain cycling in a manner that’s easy to understand. Here I’ll try to explain in simple terms what is essentially a very simple uncomplicated process.
Algae is a natural occurrence that has been present on Earth for over a billion years, thriving in environments with light and water. In moderate amounts, algae can have advantageous effects, such as utilizing ammonia as a food source, acting as a food source for fish and invertebrates, and producing vital oxygen through photosynthesis.
