I have been establishing a 20 gallon community aquarium since August. At the moment I've got three amano shrimp and 1 male platy, William Robert. In about a month after I go to a wedding out of town, I plan to finish stocking the tank. I will be getting 6 corydoras trilineatus last, but am still debating which fish to get for the upper regions of the aquarium, rasboras or black neon tetras.
I like looking at the aquarium and feeling a sense of peace by watching all the fish get along. I really love black neon tetras but have read many conflicting stories about their behavior; some people say they are not quite peaceful. I like the rasboras, too, but don't find them quite as pretty. Any ideas? BTW, I am disabled and at home all the time, so I keep the aquarium very clean and keep up with the water changes and vacuuming weekly. I also have a bubble wand which creates some upper current (I turn it off at night when the fish go to sleep). My water parameters are as they should be.
I thank you in advance and thank all who have advised me in the past.
Regards,
Emil
