Dang. Ninja poster.

I think comets and black moors can handle them, only becuase i have seen them in tanks with heaters.

No goldfish! I would get a small net for fry that hangs inside the tank for your neons. You're lucky to have them. I don't know of anyone who had neon fry before. I want them!

What would this net do? Is this very rare? It is weird because there was a fry in the tank about 2 days after i got the original 9. I thought the neons i bought were just babies becuase they are small, but i guess they are adult.!!

But, the goldfish is out of the question now! What fish do u guys suggest I should get as my final one?

They are known as breeding or fry nets. You can find them in walmart, petco, petsmart, superpets, or pretty much any LFS.

what would this breeding or fry net do? But the thing is.. I don't want the fry! I'm scared theyll overpopulate my tank! But i guess i really don't have to worry about that.

Will a Red Peacock Cichlid be a good addition to my tank?

No, malawi cichlids have different requirements for water parameters (hard/high pH water), not to mention it will probably eat the neons. Try a dwarf gourami, more neons (for a bigger school) or some cories.

no on the cichlid. they arent community fish

The fry net is just a net that holds the fry untill they are big enought to not get eaten
