Care tips on Neets?

[MN_Rebel]

Is 20 gal's okay for Neets? Im getting 4 or 5 young neets in few weeks. What I need to add to the tank and what is cheaper shelter? Like flower pots or slate rocks. At what size they start to spawn?

I did a little research myself on Neets and from what I read, they're better off in like a 40. Reason being is once they're old/mature enough to pair off... they'll kill everything else around! I'll see if I can't locate the literature that I was reading and post a link. Who are you getting them from? Rapps?

I will get them from TREASURECHESTAQUATICS. I could switch the tanks. Neets will get the blackfin goodea's long 30gal and blackfin goodeas can have their 20gal tank.

4-5 in a tank of that size I woul dhighly recommend lots of hiding spots/places.
