I recently went back to them from cichlids, and without bashing cichlids; it's nice to actually watch fish not hell bent on killing each other for a change lol

oh no worries I'll bash cichlids all day for you haha.
 
Used to keep them with small cherry barbs as you can see from my thread, worked well. I am talking about raising a school of tiny loaches, like 1-2cm long. So I would have thought I could begin with small fish like neons? What do you think? Other half likes neons, shes weird like that...

I don't think it'd be a problem at all with small loaches.

Thanks, what do you think about their slight difference in temperature requirements? Some say as the loaches require about 26-30 degree water that the neons will be at the upper range of their temperature requirements, essentially in warmer water than they should be kept in? Or is this a nonsense?
 
I have 10 tiger barbs in with 7 2-3" clown loaches and they all school together, plus have extremely complimentary colors and patterns....
