      I have brigittae rasboras female endlers and neons schooling together in my betta tank. I also have some Amanos in there, but it took several months for them to realize that they don't have to hide from the betta. I really hit the jackpot with this one, he's so docile, he doesn't even attack baby shrimp.

      Dominic H. The betta I had with my neons was given to me by one of my frat brothers. I forget why he had it but it turned out to be a pretty mild mannered fish. In fact, most of the bettas I’ve owned over the years have been pretty docile towards everything except pond snails lol

    I had 4-5 convict cichlids in my 20 gallon long. People will say that size is too small for so many, and from that experience I agree, but I made it work with lots of silk plants, caves, driftwood, etc. For them to claim and hide in. I'd taken them home after finding out that they were going to be abandoned in a cold classroom for several weeks during winter vacation after an experiment was completed and were in a liter soda bottle. I didn't even know what they were, but I had a tank already and added them. They ate everyone but my apple snail. Such a diet allowed them to get big fast.
    I loved them and they were adorable when they came up to the tank wall with their tails wagging, and I liked watching them do their territory dances/displays.
    I enjoyed my danios before the cichlids ate them. I'd like to have danios again sometime.

Survive unheated winter temperatures in my house (I keep it at 55*F in the winter for economic reasons) From what I've read not many aquarium fish tolerate waters that cold. Very active too, even in cold water.

    Love this video. Quick question tho: at 0:51 what were the other tetra looking fish with the neons and guppies. They look gorgeous. They kinda look like a whitish neon tetra.

    You just solved a nearly one year old mystery! I had never heard of Japanese Trapdoor snails before watching this, and your description matched up a lot with the snail I got from my local pond shop! His name is Curly and he lived in my 55 gallon Ranchu tank. He’s about the size of a golf ball and was sold to me as a “pond snail” and the guy working there wasnt sure what he was. Looked up the pictures and yup, thats my kid!

    What kind of food are you feeding at 1:35? I like that it sticks to the glass
