Hello all!

Anyone ever try mixing neons and cardinals? Thinking putting in 6 cardinals
with my 7 neons. I wonder if there is any agressive tendencies between the
two species...

Neons and Cardinals get along fine. They usually swim in schools together if
kept in the same tank.

Yes, they will. It's also a lovely display.
The John G Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, IL has a wonderful set up.
They now have sections of fish species from certain places. The River Amazon
"wing" is so cool. They have a huge display that looks like you're looking into
the Amazon. There's tree roots under the surface and the trees over...even the
right land critters above.
Anyway, they have an enormous school of Neons and Cardinals. The lighting is
dim, and the affect from their natural colors will make your jaw drop open.
