Well. Frankly, I'm surprised that you have any Neon Tetras at this point. I doubt you'll have them much longer. I don't know what a "cigar fish" is. I'd be concerned about the Clown loach and the potential for it to end up missing it's eyes and swimming around the tank soon to die... JD being the culprit I'd guess. the Geophagus and Dempsey and probably the jewel can go together in there. The rest of them... DOOMED!!!

The jewel,...you can look this up, is very very aggressive, at full size. ive seen them do well every time, but the book says they have a dark side. My jewel is now a constant "hider" she wont stay out for anything. she was at first, very energetic swimming in the bubblewand. She has not killed yet but she deffinanly eats first!
